Continental officials saw the number of property damage and personal injury claims make a significant increase in April that indicated a problem with their tires. In May, six people died in an SUV rollover accident when their Ford Expedition tires failed, leading to a July Continental tire investigation. The tire recall was announced August 19, but Continental did not disclose how many tread separations had occurred.
