Mack recall: Tires
What is wrong
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2019 Mack Granite (GR), LR, and TerraPro (TE) trucks, equipped with Bridgestone M854 tires with DOT date codes 2418-2518, Bridgestone M860A tires with DOT date code 2518 or Bridgestone M864 tires with DOT date codes 2318-2418, all of size 425/65R22.5. The sidewall steel body cords may be exposed, possibly causing unexpected, rapid air loss while driving. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires - Other than Passenger Cars."
What could happen
Rapid tire air loss can increase the risk of a crash.
