Critical riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Dunlop - Goodyear. Certain tires may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 139 — New Radial Ply Tires for Motor Vehicles With a GVWR of 4 536 kg or less. During endurance compliance testing, the tires did not meet the requirements of the low inflation pressure performance portion of the standard due to tread chunking.
