What is wrong
Michelin North America, Inc. (Michelin) is recalling certain X, XWX, Pilote X, XVS, TRX, MXV, XAS, TB 15, XDX, ZX, VHC, TB 5, XM+, and PB 20 specialty tires, sold for use on certain vintage and antique vehicles. Please see the attached products listing for a complete list of all affected tires and sizes. 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 numbers 109, "New Pneumatic and Certain Specialty Tires," and 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."
What can happen
Tires that are missing a DOT symbol may be used in inappropriate applications, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Michelin will replace the tires with a debit card provided to owners to defray the cost of mounting and balancing or offer a refund, free of charge. If necessary, certain recalled SKUs may be replaced with competitor tires of the same tire size. Owner notification letters were mailed July 14, 2023. Owners may contact Michelin's customer service at 1-866-324-2835.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
