Amp recall: Tires

What is wrong

Wheel Group Holding, LLC (WGH) is recalling certain AMP Terrain Attack R/T, Terrain Attack A/T, Terrain Pro A/T, and Mud Terrain Attack M/T tires with load ranges SL, XL, C, D, E, and F. The tires are labeled as snow tires, but do not have sufficient traction to perform in all snow weather conditions. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."

What could happen

Tires that do not provide sufficient traction in snow can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

WGH will inspect and repair, or fully reimburse customers as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 01, 2024. Owners may contact WGH customer service at 1-626-363-1666 and/or [email protected].
