GREENVILLE, SC — Michelin Americas Truck Tires (MATT) has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it is recalling a maximum of 4,000 Michelin XDE M/S Size 10R22.5 (Load Range F and Load Range G) commercial truck tires.
MATT’s decision comes after its quality control system indicated a condition that could possibly result in rapid air loss, the tiremaker reported.
“This recall involves commercial truck tires only and has no impact on any other Michelin tires,” the company noted in a release.
To date, there have been no accidents or injuries reported and no property damage claims filed, according to MATT.
The recalled tires were produced at Michelin’s Ballymena plant in Northern Ireland from May to October. The tires are typically used on the drive axle of a variety of commercial vehicles in North America.
Affected tires have DOT markings beginning with HJ and ending with 2104 through 4304. Michelin said it would replace all potentially affected tires produced during that period.
