Michelin Recalls 473 Pilot Alpin 5 SUV Winter Tires Missing DOT Symbol; Free Inspection and Replacement Offered
According to a recall report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Michelin North America is recalling 473 Pilot Alpin 5 SUV winter tires, size 235/55R19 105 H XL, manufactured at Michelin's plant in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, between May 12, 2024, and September 5, 2026.
The tires are being recalled because the DOT certification symbol is missing from the sidewall. NHTSA says tires without the DOT symbol may be used inappropriately, increasing the risk of a crash. Michelin will inspect and replace the affected tires free of charge.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on December 26. Consumers can reach Michelin customer service at 1-888-971-3801 or call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
