Michelin to Recall Pilot Power 2CT and Pilot Power 120/70 ZR 17 Front Motorcycle Tyres
15/06/07


(STOKE-ON-TRENT – 15 June 2007) – Michelin has launched a campaign to recall its Pilot Power 2CT and Pilot Power 120/70 ZR 17 front motorcycle tyres with “Made in France” markings. An examination of these tyres showed a possible defect in the tread due to a manufacturing irregularity. No cases of pressure loss have been reported and no accidents have occurred.

Because customer safety is its primary concern, Michelin has decided as a precaution to replace certain 120/70 ZR 17 Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and Michelin Pilot Power front tyres, which can be identified by the following markings on the sidewall:

a “Made in France” label
DOT 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T
These tyres will no longer be sold by dealers.

A special telephone number for consumers has been set up to provide customers with information about the campaign and will be operational on Monday 18 June from 8.30 a.m.

The telephone numbers are:

UK : 0800 454774
Republic of Ireland: 0044 (0)1782 401535

Also, the dates of the affected batches are between 4505 and 1807 so you need to check that as well.

Hey Viney where you been hiding? This news broke last Friday!

The linky doesn't work for me. Says 'page not found'. I've got Pilot Powers on my Speed Triple. They're only a couple of months old so I'm off to check now.

Edit: This link should work

Edit2: Thanks for the warning. Mine says "Made in Spain", so it's not affected.
