The problem
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2019 Mack Granite (GR), LR, and TerraPro (TE) trucks, equipped with Bridgestone M854 tires with DOT date codes 2418-2518, Bridgestone M860A tires with DOT date code 2518 or Bridgestone M864 tires with DOT date codes 2318-2418, all of size 425/65R22.5. The sidewall steel body cords may be exposed, possibly causing unexpected, rapid air loss while driving.

The risk
Rapid tire air loss can increase the risk of a crash.
