Home › Cars & vehicles › Michelin North America, Inc. — Missing DOT…
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
Tires that are missing a DOT symbol may be used in inappropriate applications, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
Michelin will replace the tires with a debit card provided to owners to defray the cost of mounting and balancing or offer a refund, free of charge. If necessary, certain recalled SKUs may be replaced with competitor tires of the same tire size. Owner notification letters were mailed July 14, 2023. Owners may contact Michelin's customer service at 1-866-324-2835.
