Missing the Date Code on the Tire/FMVSS 139
Description
Pirelli Tire LLC (Pirelli) is recalling certain P Zero Trofeo tires sizes, 225/50ZR15 91Y, manufactured from April 1, 2015, through April 7, 2015, and 245/45ZR16 94Y manufactured from March 21, 2015, through March 26, 2015. The affected tires may not be marked with a date code. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."
Injuries / Consequence
A missing date code could render the tire difficult to identify in the event of a safety-related issue, possibly causing them not to be removed from service. This will increase the risk of crash.
Remedy
Pirelli will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires missing the date code, free of charge. The recall began on June 14, 2016. Owners may contact Pirelli customer service at 1-800-747-3554.
