- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2020546
- Manufacturer's number: 44Q5
- Reported: 2020\-11\-13
- Component: Tires
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 16

## What is wrong

Issue:

Certain vehicles were built with tires that may have been cured too long. As a result, the sidewall could crack or the tread and belts could separate. This could lead to a sudden loss of air pressure and could cause a tire failure.

Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with certain Continental tires, with specific date codes and mold numbers.

Safety Risk:

A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the tires and replace the ones that have the DOT number and production mold number combinations identified by Continental.
