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 (“CTA”) 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 TIN’s – see list of affected tires shown in Attachment no. 1 below
3. Production period: 0119 to 1722 Examples for full identification see Attachment no. 2 and 3. What Should You Do?
If you have one of the covered tires, please contact us at the toll-free number 1-888-799-2168 (Menu option – Motorcycle Tire Recall) to confirm that your tire is eligible for a free replacement with a substantially similar tire. If you have disposed of the affected tire already or sold the vehicle on which it was mounted, please contact us at 1-888-799-2168 (Menu option – Motorcycle Tire Recall) with the name and
address of the new owner. What Will CTA Do for You? If you have an affected tire in service on the date you receive this notice, CTA recommends you return it to the place of purchase or your nearest Continental Tire dealer. CTA will replace the affected tire free of charge within 180 days of the receipt of this letter with a comparable tire and send a reimbursement check to you to cover the costs for mounting, balancing, disposal, and taxes. If you have already replaced an affected tire prior to receipt of this notice due to the condition described, CTA will reimburse you for the original price of the tire, including mounting, balancing, and taxes. To be eligible for reimbursement, you must submit the required documents to CTA within 180 days of receipt of this letter. For reimbursement requests submitted later than 180 days, CTA will pay you a prorated portion based on the percentage of useable tread remaining on the tire you are replacing. If you believe that CTA has failed or is unable to remedy the defect without charge or within a reasonable amount of time, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, West Building, Washington, DC 20590, or call the toll-free Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or go to http://www.nhtsa.gov. Federal law requires that any vehicle leaser receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee by First Class Mail within ten days of your receipt of this notice. We apologize for any inconvenience that this action may cause you. Because we are concerned about your safety, we urge you to take immediate action. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

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 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 “WW” in the table
in the Attachment no. 1.

ContiGo! Plant TIN Production Week Multiple TIN codes affected – see Attachment 1
K62 Multiple TIN codes affected – see Attachment 1
LB Multiple TIN codes affected – see Attachment 1 5 6
Attachment no. 3 – 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. 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 “WW” in the table in the Attachment no. 1.
