Fortune / Prinx recall: Tires
What is wrong
Prinx Chengshan Tire North America, Inc. (PCTNA) is recalling certain Fortune Tormenta and Prinx Hicountry sold as replacements tires. Please refer to the 573 Safety Report for specific sizes. 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
Dealers will inspect and repair, or fully reimburse customers as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 27, 2025. Owners may contact PCTNA customer service at 1-855-544-4891.
