NHTSA Recall Number: 21T-018 To: STA Tire Brand Owner,
Subject: Important Recall Notice
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle
Safety Act.
Sailun Tire Americas has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Sailun Tire America (STA) Specialty Trailer (ST) tires brands. Accordingly, a voluntary recall is being initiated on the affected brands and sizes.
The defect is associated with a steel belt package design change that could contribute to a tread belt separation or tread delamination, increasing the risk of a crash. Tire owners can help reduce the associated risk by referring to their trailer/RV placard and adhering to the prescribed air pressure and weight limitations of the vehicle. Underinflation and overloading of the tires as well as excessive speed are also contributing factors to tire failure.
It has been determined that 84,351 tires produced from May 11, 2020 to October 11, 2020 (DOT date range identified by factory code 1YJ and the last four digits of the DOT code are: 2020 – 4120) are in the affected range.
Please refer to the table on page 2 of this notice to identify if your tire(s) is in the affected date range. The date of manufacture (last four characters in the DOT Code) can be found molded onto the tire near the bead. For the affected lot(s) the plant code (first three characters in the DOT Code) will be 1YJ and the last four characters will be the date code range (2020 - 4120), please see the example below.
