The subject tyres can be recognised by DOT week codes 4323–4425 on the sidewall and a “Made in Turkey” marking. The tyres were supplied as original equipment to Ford for designated light commercial vehicle models.
The issue was identified through ongoing monitoring and quality assessment of our product. In rugged and wet environments, the subject tyre may be more susceptible to cuts and partial penetration. In a small number of cases later in the tyre’s life, this could lead to tread deformation or separation. In isolated cases, rapid air loss could occur.
We are proactively engaging with regulators, partners and customers to organise free of charge replacement of the subject tyres. Our priority remains the safety and well-being of our customers and the integrity of our products.
