Continental Tyres, earlier March 2021, had issued a recall for nearly 94,000 of its Continental, General, and Barum brand tyres because they were cured for too long during the production process.

The company said that could cause affected tyres to develop a break in the sidewall that would cause them to rapidly deflate and/or completely separate while in use.

While that recall was bad enough for Continental Tyres, the company disclosed that it was not the only one affected.

Several automakers, including GM, Mercedes-Benz, VW, Ford, and Nissan, have now had to recall vehicles equipped with the affected tyres to ensure that drivers are not at an increased risk of getting into an accident, according to the company.

Those recalls have affected well over 100,000 vehicles of various models, it noted.

ConsumerConnect gathered that the automakers are now notifying affected owners and dealers about the issue, and are working to get the issue fixed at no cost to consumers.
