Michelin Tire Recall

[Bill_and_Marie_]

From the Michelin site:

Michelin is recalling one version of a specific size of the Michelin LTX M/S tire. These tires are typically found on such vehicles as commercial light trucks, full-sized heavy duty vans, small RVs and some large pickup trucks.

The tires were produced between January 2010 and June 2012.
The tire version and size are:
Michelin LTX M/S LT 225/75R16 115/112R LRE
The tires were fitted as original equipment on some new vehicles and were also sold as new replacement tires.
Michelin is issuing the recall because a small number of the tires being recalled experienced tread loss and/or rapid air loss.
Michelin recommends removal of these tires as soon as possible. Owners of the affected tires should visit an authorized Michelin retail location as soon as possible to have the tires replaced at no charge.

Determine if it matches the information below:

Tire Description. DOT Sequence DOT Production Periods (Inclusive)
Michelin LTX M/S LT 225/75R16. 115/112R LRE. B3JH AKEX. 0210 – 2512

The *tire sizes* under recall are also posted; if the tire size isn't listed, the tire is not under recall. (Well, at present, anyway!)

I'm kinda curious about this one !

Looks like the same recall under which I got 6 new tires back in January 2014.

I believe it's the same recall. Michelin no longer even makes the M+S, the LT225/75R/16E tire under recall that was OEM on Ford E-450 chassis for many years. The M+S2 replaced the M+S.

:h These recalls on specific sizes and "brands" of Michelins have been out for months; I thought there was a "window" on the timing of free replacement tires, but maybe not. Call your tire dealer.
