## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain 2019\-2020 Altima and 2018\-2021 Titan vehicles equipped with Continental tires.  On the affected vehicles, it is possible that one or more tires were cured for too long during tire production.


## What can happen

Over cured tires may develop a break in the sidewall, resulting in sudden air loss or belt edge separation which could lead to tread/belt loss.  Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tires, and replace them as necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed on May 11, 2021.  Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1\-800\-867\-7669.  Nissan's number for this recall is PC798.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
