Michelin Recalls Specialty Tires Missing DOT Certification Markings
Michelin is recalling certain XVS and TRX specialty tires provided as replacements for a prior recall because they lack the required DOT certification symbol on the sidewalls.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a compliance and labeling defect (missing DOT symbol) that creates a theoretical risk of misuse and crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Michelin North America, Inc. is recalling certain XVS and TRX specialty tires that were provided as replacement tires for Recall 22T023. The defect is that the DOT certification symbol is missing from the tire sidewalls. Consequently, these tires fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 109, "New Pneumatic and Certain Specialty Tires," and 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."
Tires missing the DOT symbol may be used in inappropriate applications, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners who received replacement XVS, XAS, or TRX specialty tires under Recall 22T023 may need to have their tires replaced again.
Michelin will replace the tires or fully reimburse customers as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 1, 2024. Owners may contact Michelin's customer service at 1-888-971-3801 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
