What's wrong: Some of these tires may experience uneven wear, vibration, or particularly under conditions of overloading or under inflation in high ambient temperature usage, separation between the belt edges.

Why it matters: Separation of the belt edges could lead to tread belt separation, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Continental tire will notify owners and replace the affected tires free of charge. The safety recall began on April 14, 2011.
