Michelin Recalls 597 Tires in U.S.
Michelin has recalled tires that have been found to be non-compliant with the NHTSA requirement for a marking that should indicate that the tire has been certified under motor vehicle safety standards. The affected tires included:
• Michelin(R)
• Pilot(R)
• Alpin(R)
• PA2 ZP winter tires
The missing “DOT” letters are used to help consumers identify the tire’s validity for use and signify compliance with the motor vehicle safety standard. There is no performance issue with these tires, and they have been validated to meet all performance requirements of the motor vehicle safety standard.
