What was wrong

Defect

Continental Tire the Americas, LLC (Continental) is recalling certain Crosscontact LX20 tires, size P275/55R20 111S, manufactured May 3, 2015, to May 9, 2015. The tires, sold as replacement tires as well as original equipment on certain General Motors full size trucks and SUVs, may have insufficient adhesion within the belt package, resulting in tread wear, vibration, noise, or bulging areas on the tire.

Risk

The insufficient adhesion can cause partial or full tread/belt loss, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Continental will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. The recall began on November 11, 2016. Owners may contact Continental customer service at 1-888-799-2168.
