Michelin recalls 542,000 CrossClimage light truck tires

Greenville, SC – Michelin North America, Inc. and Michelin North America (Canada), Inc. are voluntarily recalling MICHELIN® Agilis® CrossClimate® C-Metric tires, in sizes 185/60R15C, 195/75R16C, 205/65R15C, 205/75R16C, 225/75R16C, 235/65R16C. These tires are marked with the Alpine Symbol, but do not meet the traction requirements for snow tires. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 139, “New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles” and Canadian Technical Standards Document (TSD) 139.
Agilis® CrossClimate® C-Metric sizes are commercial service heavy duty light truck tires, with a design that differs from the Agilis® CrossClimate® LT-Metric design. The LT-Metric tire design meets the requirement for the Alpine Symbol and all LT-Metric sizes are qualified for severe snow service. Additionally, the CrossClimate® and CrossClimate® 2 passenger and SUV tire lines are not affected by this recall.
