The Hazard!
There is a potential occurrence of a circumferential crack in the sidewall area at the bar code field, which could present a risk of rapid pressure loss.
This is a proactive and precautionary measure, as no product has experienced pressure loss to date.
What to do...
If your tyre is subject to this recall (see 'Product Identifiers'), you can inspect the tyre yourself using the guidance in the second image on this page:
- Locate the bar code field next to the serial number
- If there is no crack or rubber lip at the bar code field, the tyre is fine and can stay on the vehicle for further use.
- If there is a crack or rubber lip at the bar code field, the tyre needs to be replaced.
If you are uncomfortable doing the inspection yourself, contact the Michelin dealer where you purchased the tyre to arrange a visit from a Michelin representative.
If a replacement is required, this can also be arranged through your Michelin dealer.
