WASHINGTON —Kumho Tire U.S.A. Inc. has reissued and expanded a recall notice from last summer, covering nearly 12,000 Kumho Solus KH25 passenger tires, to try and recover 2,310 of the recalled tires that were resold by a third party vendor as used tires. Kumho originally recalled a smaller batch of the tires, in size 225/45R17, last August because of possible sidewall cracking that could result in air loss. At that time, Kumho said the recall was limited to 1,238 units, of which only 122 had been sold to consumers. The rest were said at that time to be in Kumho's warehouses. In the reissued recall notice, Kumho said it determined at that time that the total number of tires that had the possible defect was 40,769, but it controlled all but the 1,238 mentioned. The tires now being sought are part of a batch of 11,922 tires that were rendered unusable—by drilling three holes through the tread surface—and then sent to Pittsburgh-based Liberty Tire Recycling L.L.C. for disposal.
