Continental Tire the Americas, LLC is recalling 655 Conti Hybrid HS3 tires for commercial vehicles.

The tires being recalled are size 11R22.5, Load Range G and with the Department of Transportation (DOT) codes A33T KWUX 0918, A33T KWUX 1018, and A33T KWUX 1118. Only the production DOT weeks 0918, 1018, and 1118 are affected. Continental has not received any reports of accidents or injuries resulting from this condition.

The reason for the recall is that cords may be visible through the inner liner, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s recall notice. Tires with visible cords through the inner liner may have a sudden loss of air, increasing the risk of a crash.

Continental has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada of the details of the recall. For tires sold in the original equipment business, Continental is in communication with customers to identify end users who purchased vehicles with affected tires. For tires sold in the replacement business, Continental is in communication with its tire distributors and dealers to identify end users who purchased affected tires. All identified tire owners will be promptly notified and informed about the details of the recall and how to receive replacement tires at no charge.
