The defect
Vee Tyre and Rubber Co., Ltd (Vee) is recalling certain Taiga M/T tires, size LT225/75R16, manufactured January 8, 2015, to May 7, 2015.

The risk
If the sidewall blisters or interliner separates it may cause a tire blow out at high speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Vee has successfully quarantined the affected tires. The recall began on May 25, 2016. Owners may contact Vee customer service at 1-212-564-7575.
