Sumitomo Rubber USA, LLC: Falken Pro G5 CSV Tires Recalled for Tread Separation Risk

Agency Publication Date: September 14, 2022

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Sumitomo Rubber USA is recalling 5,439 Falken Pro G5 CSV tires across four different sizes because of a manufacturing defect where an inadequate level of sulfur was used in the rubber compound. This chemical imbalance prevents the tread base rubber from curing properly, which can lead to the tread separating from the tire body while driving. Affected owners can have their tires replaced by a dealer free of charge.

Risk

If the tread separates from the tire, the vehicle may become unstable and difficult to control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your tires to see if they are Falken Pro G5 CSV models in one of the following sizes: 235/65R17 104V, 235/65R18 106V, 245/50R20 102V, or 265/50R20 111V.
  2. If you identify these tires on your vehicle, contact an authorized dealer to arrange for a free replacement of the affected tires.
  3. For further information or assistance, contact Falken Tire's customer service department at 1-877-763-0416.
  4. You may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
