What is wrong
Alliance Tire Americas, Inc. (Alliance) is recalling certain 14-17.5 ML Alliance 239 tires built for use on mining, logging and industrial equipment for restricted highway use (55mph), manufactured from week code 1613 through week code 1514. The affected tires are missing required sidewall markings such as the letters DOT, the tire identification number, the load and inflation information, the number of plies and composition information, and the tire load range. As such, these tires do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars."
What can happen
Tires that are missing needed information such as tire identification numbers, loads and inflation amounts, and speed restrictions could cause the driver to over fill or overload the tires resulting in a blow out, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Alliance will notify customers and dealers will install identical tires with the proper sidewall markings, free of charge. The recall began in June 2014. Owners may contact Alliance Tire customer service at 1-800-343-3276.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
