2010 Subaru OUTBACK Tires Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1028627
Internal NHTSA #	10556425

Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2010
File date	13/12/13
Component	TIRES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Contipro contact 225/60r17 tires were mounted as replacements 11/17/13. Tires were rotated and maintained by dealer on a regular basis. Primarily highway/city driving. I have not hit any fod or potholes - there has been no unusual trauma to the tires. After 13 months, 18k miles, the left front tire's inner sidewall suffered a catastrophic failure. Continental refused to pro-rate or make any adjustment for the premature demise of this tire. Because the car is awd, i was forced to purchase 4 new tires. I believe there is a manufacturing defect in this brand/model of tire. Luckily, i was only driving 25 mph when the tire failed. I have now researched and discovered that there are multiple reports of this type of tire failure for contipro contact 225/60r17. One report indicates that continental replaced the tire under warranty at 18 mos, however, it appears that continental is aware of a manufacturing defect and has now limited the warranty period to 12 mos. They have apparently continued to experience problems with the inner sidewall failure because the tire is no longer offered. I believe this tire should be recalled in the interest of consumer safety.
