Tire recall question

I received a recall notice on my Michelin tires on my 2013 Leprechaun. I just retired :) and I am getting ready to do a lot of travel so I wanted to get this taken care of. I went out this morning to look at the tires and it appears that there is a difference between the front tires and the rear tires. The front tires are for sure covered under the recall. The recall notice says that the DOT sequence is DOT B3JH AKEX with a date code between 0210 and 2512. The front tires match this perfectly. (see picture) The DOT sequence on the rear tires start out the same, DOT B3JH AKEX, but then instead of the 4 digit date code they have some sort of a code beginning with E2. (see picture) I am not sure how to determine if these rear tires fall under the recall because I can't determine the manufacture date. Any insight would be appreciated because I want to know what I am dealing with before I talk to a Michelin dealer. Thanks in advance for any help.
  • As IAMICHABOD stated, date code on the Michelins are only on one side. Shimmy under with a flashlight, pretty sure you'll find their all covered. Had a factory spare come with my rig and I had to drop it to get the "right side", it was covered/replaced also.

  • Don't know a thing about the recall but the tires you are showing should be replace.
    Both of the tires show checking, went you go in for the recall I would argue that they all need to be replace whether they or recalled are not!
    Good Luck
  • The MFG date is only on one side of the tire,you may have to look on the otherside to get the MFG Date.
