Conti CrossContact LX Tire Recall

[RedRider]

FYI, Anyone who replaced their factory shoes with CrossContact LX rubber should be made aware that some of them have been recalled by Transport Canada due to possible instant decompression caused by contamination resulting in sidewall failure.
I guess this is why you should make sure that you register your newly purchased tires with the manufacturer.

The following models are impacted:

• 2023 CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT, Model LX25 225/65R17
• 2023 CONTINENTAL, CROSSCONTACT, Model LX25 235/55R18

On certain tires, the rubber compound may be contaminated with small metal fragments. As a result, the sidewall of the tire could fail and cause a sudden loss of air pressure, Transport Canada said in its recall warning.
A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash, the warning states.
Continental Tire will notify registered owners by mail, but you should contact a Continental Tire dealer if you have tires with these date codes or if you need help inspecting them.
"All tires affected by this recall will be replaced," the recall states.
