WHICH TIRES ARE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL?

GENERAL GRABBER AW SIZE: 275/60R17

DOT number deciphering

The numbers at the end of the DOT represent the week and the year that the tires were manufactured. The number 109 indicates the tires were manufactured during the 10th week of 1999 and the number 4400 indicates the tires were manufactured during the 44th week of 2000.

Some examples of manufacturing dates are:

^ 1100 - 11th week of 2000

^ 519 - 51st week of 1999

^ 1501 - 15th week of 2001

This means that tires with DOT # ending with _109 through _529 (week 10 through week 52 of 1999) and tires with DOT # ending with _100 through 4400 (week 01 through week 44 of 2000) are included in this recall. Please note that this is not a sequential numbering scheme.
