IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
NHTSA Recall Number 22T023 February 28, 2023
Subject: VOLUNTARY RECALL NOTICE Dear Michelin Tire Owner,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Highway Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Michelin North America, Inc. has determined that the following tires in the MICHELIN® Vintage Tire Collection™ fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 49 CFR Parts
571.109 “New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles Manufactured from 1949 to 1975, Bias Ply Tires, and T-type Spare Tires”; and 571.139 “New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles.” You are receiving this letter because our records indicate that you may have purchased one or more of these replacement tires at retail. Your Vintage Collection tires are part of this recall if they are listed in “Appendix A – Affected Product List” and were manufactured on or before October 23ʳᵈ, 2022 (DOT week 4322). For information on how to determine the week and year of manufacture for your tires, please refer to “Appendix B – Locating Tire Date of Manufacture.” The FMVSS requires in part that the letters “DOT” shall be marked on tire sidewalls but affected tires in this recall are lacking this required marking. The DOT symbol is an important safety related marking, because by placing the letters “DOT” on a tire the manufacturer certifies that all required safety and performance related testing has been conducted, and that the tires have passed all tests. Tires that do not comply with FMVSS requirements may increase the risk of a crash. Michelin is currently working to manufacture replacement inventories for the products referenced in Appendix A. Because Michelin Vintage Tires sell at low volumes into a specialized market, our capacity for manufacturing these products is limited and it will require several months to complete the necessary production. When your product becomes available, Michelin will send you a second letter with detailed instructions on how to arrange for replacement tires to be shipped to you or your specified dealer or restoration shop. If you have questions or concerns that have not been addressed by this letter, please contact Michelin Consumer Care at 1-888-971-3801 for further assistance. If Michelin fails to address your concerns, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, S.E., Washington, DC 20590 or call the toll-free Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153); or go to www.safercar.gov. Commitment to safety, quality and respect for the customer are our highest priorities. Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience that replacing these tires may cause.
Sincerely, Andrew Meurer
Vice President, B2C Sales
Michelin North America, Inc. 2 Appendix A – Affected Product List 3
Appendix B – Locating Tire Date of Manufacture The Tire Identification Number (TIN) is a string of numbers and letters that includes each tire’s plant of manufacture, a unique tire ID and the week and year of manufacture. The TIN is located on the tire sidewall just above the wheel flange. The illustration below shows a sample TIN from one of the affected tires. The production date code is given by the last 4 digits of the TIN, with the first two digits specifying the week of production and the second two digits specifying the year of production.
After reading this section, if you still have questions concerning the tire’s week and year of
manufacture, please contact Michelin Consumer Care at 1-888-971-3801.

Michelin North America, Inc. has decided that the following tires in the MICHELIN® Vintage Tire Collection™ fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 49 CFR Parts
571.109 “New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles Manufactured from 1949 to 1975, Bias Ply Tires, and T-type Spare Tires”; and 571.139 “New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles.” You are receiving this letter because our records indicate that you may have purchased one or more of these replacement tires at retail. Your Vintage Collection tires are part of this recall if they are listed in “Appendix A – Replacement Product List” and were manufactured on or before October 23ʳᵈ, 2022 (DOT week 4322). For information on how to determine the week and year of manufacture for your tires, please refer to “Appendix B – Locating Tire Date of Manufacture.” The FMVSS requires in part that the letters “DOT” shall be marked on tire sidewalls but affected tires in this recall are lacking this required marking. The DOT symbol is an important safety related marking, because by placing the letters “DOT” on a tire the manufacturer certifies that all required safety and performance related testing has been conducted, and that the tires have passed all tests. Tires that do not comply with FMVSS requirements may increase the risk of a crash. Michelin is manufacturing replacement inventories for affected products. This second letter is to advise that your product is now available, and that you may obtain replacement tires by following instructions detailed in Appendix C. Tires will be replaced free of charge. If you have questions or concerns that have not been addressed by this letter, please contact Michelin Consumer Care at 1-888-971-3801 for further assistance. If Michelin fails to address your concerns, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, S.E., Washington, DC 20590 or call the toll-free Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153); or go to www.nhtsa.gov. Commitment to safety, quality and respect for the customer are our highest priorities. Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience that replacing these tires may cause.
Sincerely, Andrew Meurer
Vice President, B2C Sales
Michelin North America, Inc. 2

When marked on the side of a tire, the letters “DOT” constitute a certification by the manufacturer that the tire meets all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). A range of low- volume specialty tire lines designed for antique and vintage vehicles of European manufacture were inadvertently exported to the US without the requisite DOT marking and updated compliance testing to include FMVSS specific requirements. As a result, Michelin is voluntarily recalling 16,983 tires that have been sold into the US market. There have been no safety incidents related to the subject Michelin vintage tires reported in the US. As an amendment to the original filing, Michelin recently determined that two additional vintage Pilot Sport sizes were inadvertently exported to the US without the requisite DOT marking and the list of tire sizes affected by this recall has been updated to include 452 additional tires, bringing the total number of affected tires to 17,435. There have been no safety incidents related to any of the subject tires reported in the US. FMVSS 1 : 109 – New pneumatic and certain specialty tires FMVSS 2 : 139 – New pneumatic radial tires for light vehicles
Description of the Safety Risk : Without the DOT symbol on the sidewall, the tire contains no declaration to its certification. Additionally tires with a missing DOT marking could be used in inappropriate applications.
Description of the Cause : Michelin produces a specialty collection of low-volume vintage tires for European antique and vintage vehicles. As Michelin became aware of a small, but interesting market for these tires in the United States, the decision was made to begin sales of these tires to a single distributor in the US. In October 2022, Michelin began to implement a plan to update the supply chain for these tires and detected the potential that certain tires were sold into the United States without the requisite DOT marking and updated compliance testing to include FMVSS specific requirements. This marking noncompliance was subsequently confirmed to be due to a supply chain routing error. In the case of the 2 Pilot Sport sizes amended to this filing, all required FMVSS 139 testing was completed and the tires qualified for export to the US, but a procedural error made during the tire design validation process resulted in the mold engraving drawings for these tires being issued without letters “DOT” present on the sidewall plates.

Original filing chronology:
Michelin North America became aware of a potential marking issue with vintage automobile tires on 13 October 2022. During this initial meeting, it was learned that some vintage automobile tires without DOT markings had been shipped to the US and sold. Shipments of known non-compliant tires to the US distributor were stopped on 26 October 2022. Between 13 October and 28 November, Michelin North America worked with Michelin’s team in Clermont-Ferrand France to determine the tire lines, dimensions, and volumes of the affected tires. A determination meeting was conducted by Michelin North America on 1 December 2022 to proceed with a recall of the affected tires. Chronology for amended Pilot Sport sizes:
July 20, 2023 An audit of physical inventory reveals that two sizes of the vintage Pilot Sport line were missing letters DOT on the sidewall. North American exports were blocked and inventory still under Michelin control was blocked and quarantined. July 26, 2023 Counter-verification of design and production records demonstrated that the non-compliance was due to a transcription error that occurred during creation of mold specifications, resulting in failure to include a call-out for letters DOT on the sidewall plates. These sizes were fully tested to FMVSS 139 requirements, and were validated for US export in Michelin’s supply chain systems, which led to non-detection of the Pilot Sport sizes during the initial vintage tire analysis associated with recall 22T023. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22T-023 Page 4 July 28, 2023 Analysis of production and export history completed.
August 17, 2023 Michelin North America worked with Michelin’s team in Clermont-Ferrand, France completed confirmation of DOT certification status of the affected tires. August 30, 2023 Decision to amend and submit 73 documentation for vintage tire line recall 22T023 was uploaded to the NHTSA portal. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22T-023 Page 5 Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Original filing:
Due to low production volumes of the specialty tires involved in this recall, Michelin will be conducting a phased recall of the subject tires over approximately the next 13 months. Michelin and the distributor of the subject tires has located the purchase and/or registration records for approximately 7,760 of the 16,983 of tires involved in this recall because the production dates for the subject tires range from January 2007 through October 2022. As noted in 49 CFR §574.7, tire registration records must be maintained for not less than five years from the date when purchase information is recorded; therefore, the purchase or registration records for many of the subject tires are no longer available. Based on Michelin production and logistics schedules as of late March 2023, Michelin anticipates that remedy tires will be available as noted in the following list. Month / Year Number of SKUs Number of Tires May 2023 10 2,786
July 2023 8 3,245

To be determined 9 122 Owners of the subject tires will be notified via a second owner notification letter when their specific SKU of remedy tires are available for ordering.
This letter will also include detailed instructions on how to arrange for replacement tires to be shipped to the owner or the owner’s specified dealer or restoration shop at no cost to the tire owner. Michelin will provide a cash value debit card to the owners of the subject tires to defray the cost of mounting and balancing the remedy tires. If necessary, certain recalled SKUs may be replaced with competitor tires of the same tire size. Amended filing to include 2 Pilot Tire sizes:
Affected tires will be replaced with compliant product. How Remedy Component Differs Remedy tires will bear the DOT marking on both sidewalls as specified in

Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : Correction of production in original filing:
All shipments of noncompliant tires to the US have been stopped and the distributor has been informed that sales of the affected tires must be stopped. Correction of Pilot Sport production added to amended filing:
These tires were not in active production at the time the non-compliance was detected. Production molds will be re-engraved to include the letters “DOT” on both sidewalls ahead of the next production start. Recall Schedule :
