New York drivers heads up- More than 541,000 winter tires have been recalled. Does this affect you?
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Prinx Chengshan Tire North America Inc. has recalled various sizes of Fortune Tormenta and Prinx Hicounty tires. The agency said the tires are labeled as snow tires, but "do not have sufficient traction to perform in all snow weather conditions."
"As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, 'New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles,'" the agency wrote.
The company recalled 541,632 tires in total and said it is working on a fix for the issue. Owner notification letters should be mailed out by February 1st 2025. Which by the way, is right in the middle of winter. So if you have any questions, you can contact the company at 310-205-8355, extension 109.
