Summary
Continental Tire the Americas, LLC (CTA) has issued a safety recall for multiple tire lines, within the filing of NHTSA safety recall ID 21T-001.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL:
The affected tires were cured for a time beyond the manufacturing specification. An over-cured tire may result in a carcass break in the sidewall with sudden air loss or could develop a belt edge separation which could lead to a partial or full tread/belt loss. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash.
REMEDY REPAIR:
For all potentially affected vehicles, Subaru retailers will inspect the tire identification marks of all four tires on the vehicle and replace any affected tire(s) as described in this Production Campaign Bulletin.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
Continental Tire owner notification letters will be sent by first class mail on April 9, 2021.
RETAILER RESPONSIBILITY:
Any vehicles listed in any recall/campaign that are in retailer stock must be:
Immediately identified
Tagged or otherwise marked to prevent their delivery or use prior to repair
Repaired in accordance with the repair procedures outlined in the Product Campaign Bulletin Retailers are to promptly perform the applicable service procedures, to correct all affected vehicles in their inventory (new, used, demo & SSLP). Additionally, whenever a vehicle subject to this safety recall is taken into inventory or in for service, necessary steps should be taken to ensure the repair has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.
Please be sure to download a copy of your complete inventory report from the Vehicle Inventory Dashboard available on subarunet.com to identify any vehicles with open recalls that may be in your retail, CPO, and SSLP inventory. Affected vehicles will show an Open Recall column indicator (Y).
