What happened

Michelin North America is recalling certain Michelin X Works XZY tires in size 315/80R22.5 156/150K manufactured between January 1, 2011, and July 31, 2015. These tires are missing the required DOT symbol and load range letter designation on their sidewalls. Although the tires meet all safety performance requirements, the missing markings create confusion about whether the tires comply with federal safety standards, which could increase crash risk.

To resolve this issue, Michelin will either permanently apply the required markings to the tires or replace them with a similar product at no cost. Owners of affected tires should contact Michelin at 1-888-847-8475 to arrange the correction or replacement.
