Which Goodyear tires have been recalled?

Among the most notorious, Goodyear’s G159 tires, used on RVs and motorhomes, were recalled after incidents where overheating and tread separation at high speeds led to multiple accidents. This model faced scrutiny for years, leading to a recall involving over 170,000 units in cooperation with the NHTSA to mitigate risks posed by overheating.

Goodyear’s recall of the Kelly Armorsteel KDM I tires addressed issues where the DOT date codes became illegible, affecting the ability to confirm the safety compliance of these units. This recall highlights Goodyear’s ongoing efforts to ensure date accuracy for safety verification​.

Recently, Goodyear recalled a batch of Assurance ComfortDrive tires, a popular model for everyday driving. This recall affected around 43,000 units, prompted by concerns over tread separation under specific load conditions, which could lead to loss of control if unaddressed

Back in 2012, over 40,000 Wrangler Silent Armor tires were recalled after reports indicated that they could fail under specific driving conditions, particularly for SUVs and trucks. The issue with these tires underscored the need for testing under load and speed conditions that better reflect real-world driving risks.

These recalls demonstrate Goodyear’s focus on addressing both manufacturing errors and performance issues under different driving conditions. Goodyear has often worked closely with the NHTSA to implement corrective measures, from free replacements to comprehensive customer outreach.
