Tires · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Certain continental contitrac tr owl, contitrac tr bsw, general grabber tr bsw, and contitrac bsw tires manufactured between May 29 and June 11, 2005, and sold as original equipment on certain Ford trucks and sold as replacement tires. These tires can wear prematurely which fails to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 119, new pneumatic tires for vehicles other than passenger cars.
Why it matters: Affected tires may not meet the endurance test requirements of the standard. Continued use of the affected tires can result in tire failure which could lead to vehicle damage or motor vehicle crash.
The fix: Continental will notify owners and replace the tires free of charge. The recall began on December 7, 2005.
