Honda recalls tires due to insufficient information
Honda is recalling 1,725 2024 CR-Vs because the tires are missing a four-digit date code required for tire identification numbers, the company said. Missing owners’ TIN information could mean they are unaware their vehicle is subject to a safety recall and continue to drive with the recalled tires. The issue could lead to an increased risk of crashes, the NHTSA report said.
NHTSA said the vehicles did not meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139, “New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles.”
To resolve this issue, dealers will inspect and replace tires, if necessary, free of charge. Recall notices are expected to be sent out on August 12. Owners can contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda’s phone number for this recall is BIS.

Chrysler recall
If the tire information on the label is incorrect
Chrysler is recalling a total of 9,037 2017-2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia and 2021-2024 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles. In the NHTSA report, the automaker said tire pressure and size information on tire placards and manufacturer labels is incorrect. The company said the incorrect tire information could lead to tires being inflated too low or improperly sized tires being installed, which could increase the risk of a crash.
The government agency said the vehicles did not comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, “Tire Selection and Rims.”
To resolve this issue, dealers will insert the correct tire placard and manufacturer overlay label. This service will be provided free of charge. Recall notices are expected to arrive by August 22nd.
