Continental Procontact GX AO: Tires recall
NHTSA campaign 24T009000 · 147K units potentially affected · filed Aug 20, 2024
What's wrong
Continental Tire the Americas, LLC (Continental) is recalling certain ProContact GX AO tires, size 255/35R19. The design of the tire may cause excessive heat buildup, resulting in belt separation.
Why it matters
Belt separation can cause a sudden loss of tire air pressure and a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 18, 2024. Owners may contact Continental customer service at 1-888-799-2168.
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.
