Continental EcoContact 6 tyre recall

21/12/2022

Continental announced a voluntary exchange programme for a total of 7,103 tyres worldwide. In the German market, a total of 745 tyres sold through the tyre replacement business or still in tyre dealers’ inventories are eligible for the programme.

Furthermore, the exchange programme is offered in Austria, Switzerland, Spain, France and Italy. The affected tyres could experience sudden air loss or belt edge separation, resulting in partial or complete tread loss. Continental has proactively initiated this replacement programme to eliminate potential hazards to drivers and other road users, the tyre specialist said to the asp-online.de website.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact an dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
