[h=1]MICHELIN ISSUES SAFETY RECALL FOR COMMERCIAL LIGHT TRUCK TIRES[/h]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.

My work van needs this done.


My DOT Sequence on my tires is B3JH AKEX 3611 :banghead:

On a side note....everyone should know how to check for out of date tires.

Tires really should not be used for more than 6 years, some tire experts even say as little as 4 years. Really

In the DOT sequence number found on every street tire you can find the production date.


On my van that date is 3611, that means that they were produced in the 36th week of 2011.
