Tire Valve Stem Recall

by on December 10, 2008

Dill Air Control Products is recalling replacement tire valve stems that could cause tires to lose air pressure, resulting in a crash, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The snap-in rubber valve stems may lack the required additive used to protect the rubber from deterioration.  As a result, these valve stems may wear and crack prematurely and allow air to leak from the tire.  Air pressure loss can result in a loss of vehicle control.

The recalled valve stems are Dill APC TR413, TR414 and TR 418.  They were sold between November 2006 and July 2007.
