Chinese Tire Recall

Mark & Associates, P.C. Investigating Defective Westlake, Telluride, Compass and YKS Tires

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has required that an importer of Chinese tires recall 450,000 defective tires. The tires, which are sold under the brand names Westlake, Telluride, Compass and YKS, have an insufficient or missing gum strip, which can cause belt separation. These tires are typically used on light trucks including vans, suvs and pickup trucks.
 
The importer of these tires, Foreign Tire Sales, Inc., has already been named in several lawsuits involving accidents, one of them fatal, that caused by tire belt separation. The defect is similar to those that prompted the Firestone recall in 2000/2001, in which deadly rollover crashes were linked to blowouts and tread separations.
