NHTSA Complaint #11021718 — 2015 LINCOLN MKC

CONTINENTAL TIRES NUMBER 235/50 R18-97H M-S RADIAL TUBELESS FRONT TIRES ARE LOSING CHUNKS OF TIRE AND PEELING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TIRE. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRES FOR MY 2015 LINCLON MKC. MY CAR IS SERVICED EVERY 3-4 MONTHS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD TIRES ROTATED A FEW MONTHS AGO. TOTAL MILEAGE ON VEHICLE TO DATE IS: 27,580.3 . THE TREAD IS STILL DEEP, BUT THE RUBBER IS CRACKED THROUGHOUT, PEELING, AND LOSING CHUNKS / COMING OFF. THIS WAS IDENTIFIED WHEN I HAD LOW TIRE PRESSURE FROM ROLLING OVER A SCREW. OTHERWISE, THE DAMAGE TO BOTH FRONT TIRES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FOUND UNTIL FURTHER TIRE DAMAGE, BLOWN TIRE, AND/OR INJURY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED.
