Centropneus SRL, the company behind Michelin tires, has issued a recall for no less than 640 Michelin CrossClimate 2 SUV tires. The reason: DOT labelings are missing from these tires thus violating U.S. tire safety standards.
What’s The issue Exactly?
The issue is that 640 Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires in the size 255/60R18 112V XL have been manufactured without the required DOT marking on the sidewall (see in the featured image). Although the tires actualy meet all performance and safety requirements, this missing marking alone means that they cannot be used in the U.S. under federal law.
