Summary:
Michelin North America, Inc. "Michelin" is recalling certain X, XWX, Pilote X, XVS, TRX, MXV, XAS, TB 15, XDX, ZX, VHC, TB 5, XM+, and PB 20 specialty tires, sold for use on certain vintage and antique vehicles. Please see the attached products listing for a complete list of all affected tires and sizes. The DOT certification symbol is missing from the tire sidewalls. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 109, "New Pneumatic and Certain Specialty Tires," and 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles." |
||
Consequence:
Tires that are missing a DOT symbol may be used in inappropriate applications, increasing the risk of a crash. |
||
Remedy:
Michelin will replace the tires, free of charge. Michelin will provide a cash value debit card to the owners of the subject tires to defray the cost of mounting and balancing the remedy tires. If necessary, certain recalled SKUs may be replaced with competitor tires of the same tire size. Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed February 28, 2023. Owners will receive a second notice once replacement tires become available. Owners may contact Michelin's customer service at 1-866-324-2835. |
