Greenville, South Carolina - Michelin has notified Transport Canada and the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and Pilot Power 120/70ZR17 front motorcycle tires, with "Made in France" markings. The recall involves only these specific tires and does not affect other Michelin tires.
Michelin says it found a possible defect on the tread, due to a manufacturing irregularly. No cases of pressure loss have been reported, and no crashes have occurred. The company says that, as a precaution, it will replace the tires, which can be identified by a "Made in France" label and DOT 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T markings on the sidewall.
Consumers who believe they are affected by the recall should not wait to receive notification, but should call Michelin Consumer Relations at 1-866-324-2835. The company will replace affected tires through participating Michelin motorcycle tire servicing retailers at no cost, including mounting and balancing.
