Tire Registration and Recal Information for Tire Dealers

Federal Law
  • Tire Dealer or Tire DistributorThe National Highway and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (15 U.S.C.1381) requires that any tire dealer who sells replacement tires directly to the consumer must provide the consumer with a tire registration form at the time of the sale. Providing the consumer with a registration form is not voluntary!

  • If you complete and mail the registration form(s) for the consumer, then you must fill out the form's shaded areas with the dealer's name, address, quantity sold, and the complete DOT tire identification code of the tire(s) sold. You must also complete the customer's name and address section, apply postage and mail.

  • If you do not complete and mail the registration form for the customer, then you must supply the customer with a registration form that includes your dealer name and address, the tire brand, the number of tires sold and the complete DOT tire identification code of each tire(s) sold. Then the consumer enters his or her name and address on the form, applies postage and mails it.

  • Remember, the dealer that sells directly to the consumer is required to provide a tire registration form to the consumer at the time of sale.

  • Comply Now! It's Easy!

All you need to do is fill out our All-Brand Form, give it to the customer or mail it to us and we'll do the rest. It's as simple as A,B,C.
