Nissan recalls Altima S grade vehicles with Continental ProContact TX tires

Nissan North America is recalling 2,214 model year 2020 Altima S grade vehicles with Continental ProContact TX tires, size 215/60 R16 H, with TIN date code 3320 and Mold ID S-419149.

The tires may have been overcured.

Overcured tires can result in a sidewall break causing a sudden loss of air or the tread separating from the tire. Both conditions increase the risk of a crash.

What to do

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle's tires to see if they are affected, replacing them -- as necessary -- free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin December 10, 2020.

Owners may contact Nissan customer service at (800) 8677669. Nissan's number for this recall is PC765.
