What can happen
Inadequate curing may lead to tread separating from the tire, causing vehicle instability, and increasing the risk of a crash.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
Dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 4, 2022. Owners may contact Falken Tire's customer service at 1-877-763-0416.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
