Which Goodyear tires have been recalled?

As product liability attorneys, we see firsthand the serious risks associated with defective products, particularly when it comes to automobile tires. Tires are a vehicle’s only direct contact with the road, meaning any flaw in their design, manufacture, or labeling can lead to catastrophic outcomes. Defective tires increase the risk of tread separation, blowouts, and loss of control, which can cause severe injuries or fatalities. Tire recalls are essential not only to prevent accidents but also to hold manufacturers accountable for ensuring their products meet strict safety standards.
