What are the most recent tire recalls?

In the spring of 2023, Continental Tire issued a recall for its 235/55 R18 CrossContact LX25 model. The affected tires were produced during the 14th week of the year. The defect could potentially lead to tire failure, posing serious risks for drivers and passengers. Owners were advised to check their tire’s DOT serial numbers to see if their tires were part of the recall. If affected, consumers were urged to contact their dealers for replacements and disposal​

Bridgestone also faced a recall in 2023, primarily affecting Firestone-branded tires. These tires were found to have issues that could lead to tire separation, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Bridgestone provided online resources for consumers to check if their tires were affected and initiated a replacement program​

Michelin recalled its Agilis CrossClimate tires due to a defect that could cause them to fail under certain conditions. These tires were typically used in light commercial vehicles. Michelin emphasized the importance of immediate replacement to prevent any road hazards, offering free replacements for affected customers​.
