Sumitomo Rubber recalls Falken Pro G5 tire for tread seperation

Washington, DC – Sumitomo Rubber is recalling certain Falken Pro G5 CSV tires because of a potential serious safety issue. The recall includes Falken Pro G5 CSV tires in sizes 235/65R17 104V, 235/65R18 106V, 245/50R20 102V and 265/50R20 111V.

Because of an inadequate sulfur level in the tread base compound, the tread base rubber was not cured properly.

This may lead to tread separating from the tire, causing vehicle instability, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owner notification letters went into the mail September 30, 2022. Owners may contact Falken Tire’s customer service at (877) 763-0416.
