What was wrong
Defect
American Pacific Industries, Inc. (American Pacific) is recalling certain Gladiator X-Comp A/T tires, size LT285/75R16, Load Range E and with DOT date codes 0718 to 0420. Endurance testing found the sidewall may separate from the tire. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."
Risk
Sidewall separation can lead to tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
American Pacific will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. The recall began June 30, 2020. Owners may contact American Pacific customer service at 1-800-944-8414.
