Michelin recall: Tires
What is wrong
Michelin North America, Inc. (Michelin) is recalling certain Pilot Sport 4 ZP tires, size 255/35ZR19 96Y XL with DOT codes 0521 through 2121. The DOT certification symbol is missing from the tire sidewalls. 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."
What could happen
Tires that are missing a DOT symbol may be used in inappropriate applications, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 20, 2022. Owners may contact Michelin customer service at 1-888-847-8475.
