The affected tyres can be identified by the DOT production codes 4323–4425 on the tyre sidewall, as well as by the “Made in Turkey” marking. The tyres were supplied to Ford as original equipment for certain light commercial vehicle models.
This issue was identified as part of our ongoing monitoring and continuous quality assessment. In rugged and wet environments, the affected tyre may be more susceptible to cuts and partial penetration. In a small number of cases later in the tyre’s life, this couldlead to tread deformation or separation during the tyre’s lifecycle. In isolated cases, sudden air loss could occur.
We are proactively engaging with authorities, partners and customers to organise free of charge replacement of the subject tyres. The safety and wellbeing of our customers, as well as the integrity of our products, are our highest priorities.
