NHTSA complaint 11648620 - Filed Jun 26, 2023Failure Jun 26, 2023Waco, TXTread/belt
90/90/21 Tire tread began to separate. This fell under Continental recall. Continental will not issue my reimbursement. I filled out paperwork, sent replacement tire receipt, damaged the sidewall to render tire unusable, and sent photos of this. The replacement tire was mounted and recall tire disposed of. Continental is now stating they will not issue my refund without the load rating photo, which is not possible because the shop disposed of it. They had already emailed me stating the process has begun.

Tire is beginning to crack around treads. Production week 1221. I have contacted Continental, and they are informing me I need to remove my tire and cut a hole in it for the warranty to be honored. This motorcycle is my means of transportation, and I cannot remove it and cut a hole until I receive a replacement.
