www.chinaspv.com:Michelin North America says it plans a voluntary safety recall of approximately 100,000 light truck tires over concerns they could have partial or full sidewall perforations that may cause them to lose air pressure.
The recall involves certain sizes of the Michelin LTX M/S2, Michelin X Radial LT2 and Michelin Latitude Tour tires sold primarily in North America. The tires are typically found on light trucks and SUVs.
No deaths, injuries or accidents have been reported in connection with these recalled tires.
Owners of the affected tires (listed below) should visit an authorized Michelin retail location as soon as possible to have the tires replaced at no charge. This recall is expected to begin at the end of July.
