The plant assignments are limited to 2025 partial VIN patterns 5NMJBCDE*SH and KM8JBDD1*SU. NHTSA’s 2025 AALA report, page 4, separately lists Tucson final assembly in Mexico, the United States and South Korea; Tucson HEV and PHEV rows list South Korea. It does not identify a Mexican factory or assign those countries to these VIN patterns. [1] [2] [3]

Where was your tire made?

A company address and a country of manufacture answer different questions. Start with your exact model.

  1. Read both sidewalls for the country-of-origin marking.
  2. Record the complete DOT tire identification number and date code.
  3. Check the specific size and production batch rather than another tire from the same brand.
