The tires involved in the recall are 315/80R22.5 Conti Coach HA3, produced from Aug. 27, 2017, to April 28, 2018 (DOT weeks 3517 to 1618), and sold in the OE and replacement markets in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. A total of 3,917 tires are being recalled in the U.S. market, 61 in Canada and 1,378 in Mexico.

All identified tire owners will be notified and informed about the details of the recall and how to receive replacement tires at no charge. Tires with the affected DOT codes should be exchanged immediately. Tires will be exchanged free of charge, including the cost of mounting, balancing and service fees, through Aug. 31., and on a pro-rata basis after that. Continental is encouraging owners of the affected tires to complete the exchange as soon as possible.
