What was wrong

Defect

Sumitomo Rubber USA, LLC (Sumitomo) is recalling certain Falken Pro G5 CSV tires, size 235/65R17 104V, 235/65R18 106V, 245/50R20 102V, and 265/50R20 111V. An inadequate sulfur level in the tread base compound prevented proper curing of the tread base rubber.

Risk

Inadequate curing may lead to tread separating from the tire, causing vehicle instability, and increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 4, 2022. Owners may contact Falken Tire's customer service at 1-877-763-0416.
