WASHINGTON—Goodyear said on Tuesday it would recall 173,000 G159 tires after U.S. auto safety regulators asked it to replace them.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a preliminary investigation in 2017 to review allegations raised in a lawsuit that some tires had defects causing motorhome crashes resulting in deaths and injuries.
