What 2022 Audi A5 owners say

Wheels & tires

The front tires started to come apart (tread separating from belt). I purchased new tires and had a shop install them. Some time later, after I had replaced the tires, I received a recall notice from Audi/Continental Tire for this exact issue. The notice (NHTSA Recall ID 24T009) stated to contact continental for reimbursement. I have contacted Continental Tire via telephone. They instructed me to submit pictures of the tires and receipts via their website. I did so on 11/14/2024, 12/5 and 1/14. I have only received automated validations of receipt. Continental Tire has not responded and will not address the issue. I have attached the documents sent to Continental Tire.

Tread/belt · Nov 2024

255/35R19 Failure of 1 tire in July. Replaced tire. No concerns noted by Discount tire when replacing it. 1 month later, another tire blew. Clear indication of safety concern so I replaced all tires. I have a picture of the damage, as well as of me literally changing the tire. Informed of recall - filed claim with Continental - Continental has denied my claim for reimbursement despite the pictures.
