According to a ConsumerAffairs report done by Washington reporter James Limbach, Continental Tire the Americas is recalling 8,070 ContiAttack SM, ContiSportAttack, ContiSportAttack2, ContiRaceAttack Comp. Soft, ContiRaceAttack Comp. Medium, ContiRaceAttack Comp. Endurance, and ContiRoadAttack 2 GTW motorcyle tires, in sizes 120/70ZR17 and 120/70R17.

The report stated that the tires may experience a separation between the tread, belt, and carcass resulting in a loss of tire inflation pressure, which could increase the risk of a motorcycle crash.

Continental will notify owners, and dealers will replace the subject tires with new tires, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

Owners may contact Continental customer service at 1-800-847-3349.
