Attachment no. 3 โ how to identify the specific article
Because there are several articles affected which have the same Size + same DOT Plant and TIN Code on the tire sidewall, it is important to identify the specific article to replace/reimburse them correctly.
Based on the Size and Service Description
First, check besides the Size of the tire also the corresponding Service Description (Load Index + Speed Symbol). Please see examples below.
According to the example: Size 130/90-17, Service Description (Load Index + Speed Symbol) 68V
Example 2: Imperial Tire Size
According to the example: Size 3.25-18, Service Description (Load Index + Speed Symbol) 59S
Based on the Sidewall Color
The tire lines K62 and LB are available with black sidewalls (standard) as well as with white sidewalls. All tires with the white sidewalls have the designation ending with โWWโ in the table in the Attachment no. 1.
Chronology :
February 2022: CTA filed a Noncompliance Information Report (NHTSA ID 22T003) to initiate a recall of the complete ContiScoot tire line because of potential tread groove cracking. During the investigation, CTA evaluated and performed endurance testing on additional motorcycle tire products.
February – April 2022: The additional endurance tests revealed further products from the Continental tire lines TKC80, ContiGo!, K62 and LB which are sensitive to develop groove cracks.
April 29, 2022: CTA made a determination that a noncompliance on various products exists and therefore decided to initiate this recall. CTA is not aware of any field complaints for this condition, and has not received any reports of property damage or personal injury claims for the affected products.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
NHTSA Recall ID: 22T006
Dear Customer, Date: 06.29.2022 This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Continental Tire the Americas, LLC (โCTAโ) has determined that several articles from Continental
Tire brand tire lines ContiGo!, TKC80, LB and K62, fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 119, “New pneumatic tires – other than passenger cars.” CTA has initiated a tire safety recall to remove these tires from service. You have been identified as a potential owner of an affected tire. Please read this notice carefully and follow the steps outlined in the instructions below. Why is CTA Taking this Action? CTA has determined that groove cracks in the tread rubber developed during Internal testing. Groove cracking may appear during the tire service life and can lead to tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash.
Affected Tires
The affected tires were sold as replacement and original equipment tires.
The tires must match both the tire line, full DOT tire identification number (TIN) and production period to be part of the recall:
1. Tire Lines – ContiGo!, LB, K62 and some sizes of the TKC80 tire line
2. DOT TINโs – see list of affected tires shown in Attachment no. 1 below

+ Speed Symbol). Please see examples below. Example 1: Metric Tire Size According to the example: Size 130/90-17, Service Description (Load Index + Speed Symbol) 68V Example 2: Imperial Tire Size Page 5 of 6 Page 6 of 6
According to the example: Size 3.25-18, Service Description (Load Index + Speed Symbol) 59S
Based on the Sidewall Color The tire lines K62 and LB are available with black sidewalls (standard) as well as with white sidewalls. All tires with the white sidewalls have the designation ending with โWWโ in the table

Because there are several articles affected which have the same Size + same DOT Plant and TIN Code on the tire sidewall, it is important to identify the specific article to replace/reimburse them correctly. Based on the Size and Service Description
First, check besides the Size of the tire also the corresponding Service Description (Load Index + Speed Symbol). Please see examples below. Example 1: Metric Tire Size
According to the example: Size 130/90-17, Service Description (Load Index + Speed Symbol) 68V
Example 2: Imperial Tire Size
According to the example: Size 3.25-18, Service Description (Load Index + Speed Symbol) 59S
Based on the Sidewall Color The tire lines K62 and LB are available with black sidewalls (standard) as well as with white sidewalls. All tires
with the white sidewalls have the designation ending with โWWโ in the table in the Attachment no. 1.

FMVSS 1 : 119 – New pneumatic tires- other than passenger cars FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : During FMVSS 119 testing, superficial groove cracks in the tread rubber
developed, however these cracks did not propagate into the reinforcing materials of the tires. Cracks in the tread can lead to tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash.
Description of the Cause : Currently under investigation. Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : Groove cracking may appear during the tire service life.

Country : NR Chronology :
February 2022: CTA filed a Noncompliance Information Report (NHTSA ID 22T003) to initiate a recall of the complete ContiScoot tire line because of potential tread groove cracking. During the investigation, CTA evaluated and performed endurance testing on additional motorcycle tire products. February – April 2022: The additional endurance tests revealed further products from the Continental tire lines TKC80, ContiGo!, K62 and LB which are sensitive to develop groove cracks.
April 29, 2022: CTA made a determination that a noncompliance on various products exists and therefore decided to initiate this recall. CTA is not aware of any field complaints for this condition, and has not received any reports of property damage or personal injury claims for the affected products. Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : CTA will conduct a recall campaign to replace the affected tires that have
been sold as replacement tires, or are in dealer inventories.

FMVSS 1 : 119 – New pneumatic tires- other than passenger cars FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : During FMVSS 119 testing, superficial groove cracks in the tread rubber
developed, however these cracks did not propagate into the reinforcing materials of the tires. Cracks in the tread can lead to tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash.
Description of the Cause : Currently under investigation. Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : Groove cracking may appear during the tire service life.

Country : NR Chronology :
February 2022: CTA filed a Noncompliance Information Report (NHTSA ID 22T003) to initiate a recall of the complete ContiScoot tire line because of potential tread groove cracking. During the investigation, CTA evaluated and performed endurance testing on additional motorcycle tire products. February – April 2022: The additional endurance tests revealed further products from the Continental tire lines TKC80, ContiGo!, K62 and LB which are sensitive to develop groove cracks.
April 29, 2022: CTA made a determination that a noncompliance on various products exists and therefore decided to initiate this recall. CTA is not aware of any field complaints for this condition, and has not received any reports of property damage or personal injury claims for the affected products. Description of Remedy :

FMVSS 1 : 119 – New pneumatic tires- other than passenger cars FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : During FMVSS 119 testing, superficial groove cracks in the tread rubber
developed, however these cracks did not propagate into the reinforcing materials of the tires. Cracks in the tread can lead to tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash.
Description of the Cause : Currently under investigation. Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : Groove cracking may appear during the tire service life.

Country : NR Chronology :
February 2022: CTA filed a Noncompliance Information Report (NHTSA ID 22T003) to initiate a recall of the complete ContiScoot tire line because of potential tread groove cracking. During the investigation, CTA evaluated and performed endurance testing on additional motorcycle tire products. February – April 2022: The additional endurance tests revealed further products from the Continental tire lines TKC80, ContiGo!, K62 and LB which are sensitive to develop groove cracks.
April 29, 2022: CTA made a determination that a noncompliance on various products exists and therefore decided to initiate this recall.
