Goodyear is recalling more than 173,000 G159 tires – nearly two decades after the last one was made – over concerns of tread separation and increased risk of a crash.<\/p>\n
This comes following a preliminary investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) following allegations that Goodyear G159 tires installed on Class A motor homes failed in service, causing deaths or personal injuries.<\/p>\n
The regulators said that, following conversations and meetings between Goodyear and NHTSA, the administration requested in February that Goodyear conduct a safety recall of the subject tires. <\/p>\n
On March 8, the Ohio-based company reportedly filed its response, declining the request. <\/p>\n

Now, to address the issue and the fact that some tires may still be in the marketplace or in use, Goodyear has agreed to undertake the recall, according to NHTSA.<\/p>\n
The affected G159 tires were made from 1996 to 2003 and are size 275 \/ 70R22.5 with DOT date codes 046 through 0403. <\/p>\n
