Toyo is recalling 4, 891 certain year models Versado CUV P245/55 R19, 103T, Versado CUV P235/55 R20 102T, Versado CUV P235/55 R18 100V, Versado CUV P255/65 R18 109S, Versado LX II 215/60 R16 95V, Open Country All Terrain LT285/70 R17 121S, Tourevo LS II 245/45 R18 96V, and Nitto Brand Terra Grappler All Terrain 255/55R18 109S tires, manufactured between September 19, 2010 and October 2, 2010. These tires were manufactured with a rubber chemical mixture that does not meet Toyo's proper tire specifications. Due to the defective rubber chemical mixture, the tire tread may detach, which could cause the driver to lose control of their vehicle, possibly causing an accident.

The recall is scheduled to go into effect on or before February 18, 2011. Toyo will notify owners of the recall and replace the tires free of charge, including the mounting and balancing fees. For more information regarding the recall, owners can contact Toyo toll-free at 1-800-442-8696, or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
