On May 13, 2008, Tech International recalled one model of tire valves due to a defect in the rubber. The tire manufacturer has now expanded the recall to include five additional models.
The tires are being recalled due to a defective tire valve. The rubber on the valve may crack, which permits the gradual loss of air. Driving on under-inflated tires could put the tire at risk for catastrophic failure, which can result in a car wreck.
Tech International will replace the defective tire valve for free. If the tire has been damaged due to the defective valve, Tech International will replace the entire tire.
The model numbers affected by the recall are: TR413, TR413CH, TR414, TR415, TR418, and TR423.
Car wreck attorneys are working to help those who have been seriously injured by negligent manufacturers.
