The over half a million Continental tires that have been recalled affect Ford Motor Co. SUVs that were installed as original equipment on 106,701 two-wheel-drive Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs from the 2000 and 2001 model years. There were also about 60,000 additional Continental tires sold as replacements on light trucks, totaling 596,610.
What is being done about the Continental tire recall?
Owners of the affected SUVs will receive a letter from Continental within a month of the August 19th announcement of where to get free replacement tires. Ford also said they had incorrectly labeled the tire pressure for the rear wheels on 81,774 two-wheel drive Expedition and Navigator SUVs from the 2000 model year, with some of the tires inclusive of the Continental tire recall. Ford will be mailing new labels to owners. Continental did not disclose how many tread separations had occurred in their investigation, but they did comment that most complaints had involved uneven wear and vibrations with the tires.
