Michelin Vintage Tire Recall
Michelin North America, Inc. is recalling approximately 16,983 Michelin Vintage Collection tires that were sold on the U.S. market from 2007 to 2022. The tires are period-correct specialty products intended for use on European vintage vehicles.
Michelin tires affected by this recall were inadvertently exported to the U.S. without the requisite Department of Transportation (DOT) marking and updated compliance testing to include specific requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). The tires are certified to European ECE safety standards
Customers who have purchased these tires in the U.S. will be eligible to receive replacement tires at no additional charge.
Michelin Pilot Sport Tire Recall
Michelin has initiated a recall of about 150 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 ZP® 225/35ZR19 96Y XL tires that were sold in the U.S. and Canada beginning in February 2021.
The recalled Michelin tires are missing the DOT marking on the tire sidewall that is required by the NHTSA and Transport Canada.
This is a marking error only; affected tires have been fully tested and comply with all Federal regulatory performance requirements.
Michelin Cross Climate+ Tire Recall
Michelin North America, Inc., is recalling certain CrossClimate+ tires because they are not marked with the proper temperature gradings, which makes the tires fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, increasing the risk of crash.
This recall affects Michelin CrossClimate+ tires in size 225/60R17 103V XL with DOT date code 4618, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recalled Michelin tires are not marked with the required UTQG treadwear, traction or temperature gradings, and do not have the DOT certification symbol molded into the sidewall.
As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 139, “New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles,” NHTSA said. Without the proper markings, the tires may not be used in the appropriate driving conditions, and may increase the risk of a crash.
Michelin is notifying owners, and dealerships will replace the tires free of charge.
This recall began on January 30, 2020.
