INITIAL INFORMATION:
Continental Tire the Americas, LLC (“CTA”) has determined that certain TKC 80 tires fail to conform to Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 119, "New pneumatic tires - other than passenger cars."
CTA has initiated a tire safety recall to remove these tires from service. The Husqvarna motorcycle models
listed above were originally equipped with TKC 80 brand tires.
CTA has determined that groove cracks in the tread rubber developed during internal testing. Groove cracking
may appear during the tire service life and can lead to tread separation, increasing the risk of a crash.
On the specified 701 Enduro Models listed above only the originally equipped TKC 80 front tire is
affected and needs replaced.
On the specified FE 250, 350, and 501 Models listed above both the originally equipped TKC 80 front
and rear tires are affected and need replaced.
Customers that still have originally equipped TKC 80 tires mounted on their motorcycle are eligible to have the
recall tire replacement performed by an authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles dealer.
Husqvarna Motorcycles North America, Inc. is notifying all registered owners of the motorcycles by mail. A copy
of the customer letter is included in this bulletin. The customer should take the letter along with the affected
motorcycle to an authorized Husqvarna Motorcycles Dealer to have their TKC 80 tire(s) replaced.
