Motorcycle Tires
DETAILS: Michelin is recalling 19,924 motorcycle tires in the United States and Canada. The recall includes two front-tire models, the Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and Michelin Pilot Power. Both are size 120/70 ZR 17 (58W), labeled Made in France and marked with the numbers DOT 6UCW 980T and DOT 6UCW 979T on one sidewall.
DEFECT: Michelin said that at speeds exceeding normal highway riding, the tires may exhibit deformation in the tread and possible small sections of tread separation or loss. The tires could also experience a slight to excessive vibration and create an unstable riding condition, the company said.
WHAT TO DO: Schedule an appointment with a Michelin motorcycle tire dealer to have the tire replaced for free.
