Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Continental Tire the Americas, LLC is recalling 3 General Altimax RT43 tires, size 175/65R14 82T, because they are missing critical identification information. These tires were manufactured without a 3-digit plant code and a 6-symbol manufacturer's identification mark on the sidewall. Continental Tire will replace the affected tires with new ones free of charge to ensure all safety standards are met.

Risk

The missing Tire Identification Number (TIN) information makes it difficult for owners to verify if their tires are part of a future safety recall. This increases the risk that a consumer might unknowingly continue driving on a defective or recalled tire, which could eventually lead to a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the sidewall of your tires to see if they are General Altimax RT43, size 175/65R14 82T.
  2. Examine the Tire Identification Number (TIN) on the sidewall to determine if the 3-digit plant code and 6-symbol manufacturer's identification mark are present.
  3. If you believe your tires are missing this information, contact Continental Tire's customer service at 1-888-799-2168 to arrange for a free replacement.
  4. You may also contact your local authorized Continental Tire dealer to schedule the free tire replacement.
  5. For additional information or questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
