What's wrong?
The affected part is the tread and belt package on the Goodyear G399A LHS 295/75R22.5 Load Range G tires used on certain 2017 Freightliner Business Class M2, Cascadia, and 122SD trucks. The tread is the outer rubber that contacts the road, while the belt underneath helps the tire keep its shape under load, speed, and heat.
On these tires, the curing process was not completed correctly. That cure problem left incomplete adhesion inside the tire, meaning layers that need to stay bonded together are not held as designed. As the truck runs and the tire flexes, that weak bond can lead to partial tread separation.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not treat a normal-looking tire, normal ride feel, or lack of noise as proof that the tire is clear.

What's the safety risk?
Partial tread separation increases crash risk by weakening the tire while the vehicle is moving. There is no warning sign before failure, so schedule the tire replacement soon and avoid long trips until the tire is checked. Repair is free at any franchised Freightliner dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Freightliner Business Class M2, Cascadia, or 122SD is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Freightliner dealer or Goodyear Consumer Relations at 1-800-592-3267 to schedule the free affected-tire replacement that addresses the tread-separation risk.
- Reference recall number 16V824 when you call, and mention Freightliner recall FL-728 if the service desk asks for the manufacturer number.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and confirm that the dealer will replace the affected Goodyear tires free of charge.
- Drive cautiously until the tires are replaced. Avoid highway speeds when practical and pull over if you notice vibration, noise, or visible tread damage.
