Michelin North America is recalling 16,983 specialty tires sold for use on vintage and antique vehicles because the required DOT certification symbol is missing from the tire sidewalls. The affected models include Michelin X, XWX, Pilote X, XVS, TRX, MXV, XAS, TB 15, XDX, ZX, VHC, TB 5, XM+, and PB 20. Because these symbols are missing, the tires fail to comply with federal safety standards for pneumatic tires. Michelin will provide a free replacement or refund, along with a debit card to cover mounting and balancing costs.
Tires missing the DOT certification symbol may be used in inappropriate applications for which they were not designed, which increases the risk of a crash.
You have 2 options:
Free tire replacement and mounting/balancing assistance
Full refund for the affected tires
