FORT MILL, S.C. (July 9, 2015) — Continental Tire the Americas L.L.C. is voluntarily recalling approximately 3,800 Continental ContiProContact replacement passenger tires for possible tread separation.
The tires — in size P205/ 65R15 95T XL — were manufactured during February 2015, Conti told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in a letter July 7. They bear the Department of Transportation code VY UR 471B 0615, Conti said, adding that only tires with the date code 0615 are being recalled.
