Michelin Announces Motorcycle Tire Recall <<
To date, no accidents or injuries reported
>>

GREENVILLE, S.C., June 15 /CNW/ -- Michelin has notified the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada that it is
recalling Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 2CT and Pilot(R) Power 120/70 ZR 17 (58W)
front motorcycle tires with the "Made in France" markings in the United States
and Canada. This recall involves these specific tires only and has no impact
on any other Michelin tires. Related actions are under way in other countries.
An examination of these tires showed a possible defect in the tread due
to a manufacturing irregularity. No cases of pressure loss have been reported
and no accidents have occurred.
Because rider safety is the primary concern, Michelin has decided as a
precaution to replace the 120/70 ZR 17 (58W) Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and
Michelin Pilot Power front tires, which can be identified by the following
markings on the sidewall:
<<
-- a "Made in France" label
-- DOT 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T
>>

Any consumer in the United States or Canada who believes they are
affected by the recall should not wait to receive notification but should call
Michelin Consumer Relations at 1 866 324 2835.
The company will be replacing all potentially affected tires in a
comprehensive commitment to retrieve from the market any tire that does not
meet Michelin quality standards. Replacement tires are available at no cost
(including mounting and balancing) to consumers through participating
Michelin(R) motorcycle tire servicing retailers.

About the DOT Code and Tire Identification Number
>>
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) markings serve as the tire's
fingerprint and signify compliance with U.S. Tire Safety Standards. The DOT
code can be found on the sidewall right above the rim printed in small type
less than half an inch tall.
<<
Make sure your tire is of the make and model:
>>
Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 2CT or Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 120/70 ZR 17
(58W)
Then, look for a DOT code 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T on the sidewall.


If you are having difficulty identifying your tire's DOT code, please ask
your local tire dealer to assist you or call Michelin Consumer Relations at 1

DIABLOS ARE THE ONLY REAL TIRE!!!

 

If Trojan made tires would they prevent road rash?

 

no...they would be too thick so you couldn't feel the road.

 

plus they'd just fall off and get your girlfriend pregnant

 

...but would they be ribbed for "her pleasure"?

 

well, I have a PP 2CT that is covered under the recall - but guess what...I rode that bad biyatch from TX to AK and back& did 2 full track days at TWS all within 2-1/2 mos- Yeah it's toast, but it performed like abeast! -plenty feel & traction (no worries about it falling off ) Called Michelin # just now, told them the story - They took my info & said - "We want to replace it for you - take it in, it's covered under the recall"

Now that's the SH*T!

 

Well my PP's came in today, and were not among the recalled. As NYE mention, they are specifically the French made tires...mine were made in Spain... so they have a funny lisp.

 

got mine in yesterday and they are fine aswell!
