Falken Pro G5 Csv: Tires recall
NHTSA campaign 22T017000 · 5,439 units potentially affected · filed Sep 14, 2022
What's wrong
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.
Why it matters
Inadequate curing may lead to tread separating from the tire, causing vehicle instability, and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
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.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
