Goodyear Tire Recalls

Hurt by a Goodyear Tire 

Goodyear tire blowouts have hurt people across America. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company were established by Frank Seiberling in 1898 in Akron Ohio. The company manufactured pneumatic tires, and until 1976 produced bicycle tires and also airships. The company is famous for its Goodyear Blimp, one of modern history’s most famous advertising icons. The multibillion-dollar tire enterprise was named after Charles Goodyear, who developed vulcanized rubber.

Some of the initial products produced by Goodyear included carriage and racing tires, poker chips, and horseshoe pads. The recent history of the company includes dissolving a partnership it had with the Sumitomo Tire and Rubber Company, a remodeled world headquarters located in Akron, Ohio, and a $40.1 million mesothelioma lawsuit.

There have been numerous recalls that have taken place over Goodyear’s otherwise successful history of producing replacement tires. All of the following happened from 1980 to now:

1980

Goodyear 165SR13, which was manufactured from August 1 through November 1, 1979, was recalled due to having a sidewall gauge that was insufficient. It could have resulted in cracking at speeds of 55 mph and higher. This recall involved 12,500 tires.

1985

6,000 of the Goodyear 8R195 tire were recalled more than years after the defects had been discovered. The tires were produced from December 1, 1982, through February 1, 198 3.

If an Injury Was Caused By Goodyear Tires, You Have Options

Under absolutely no circumstances should a tire company, its legal team, or anybody else who is involved directly with tire sales ever attempt to bully you into thinking that defective tires are caused by improper care or inflation. As long as consumers do not abuse the designed use of tires and inflate them properly, they can hold companies such as Goodyear accountable for producing poor quality products.
