Does this affect my vehicle?

  • Dunlop 950165LT

What the defect is

During the manufacturing process, local areas of entrapped air at the tire tread centerline and between the tread and the top ply were present in some tires. This condition could lead to tire failure.

What gets fixed

THE DEALER WILL REPLACE ALL RECALL TIRES AND WILL MOUNT AND BALANCE REPLACEMENT TIRES AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER WITHIN 60 DAYS OF NOTIFICATION.

Your rights

A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.

That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 17 March 1982.

To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Check your own vehicle

This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.

A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
