Michelin has launched a campaign to recall its Pilot Power 2CT and Pilot Power 120/70 ZR 17 front motorcycle tyres with “Made in France” markings. An examination of these tyres showed a possible defect in the tread due to a manufacturing irregularity. No cases of pressure loss have been reported and no accidents have occurred.

Because customer safety is its primary concern, Michelin has decided as a precaution to replace certain 120/70 ZR 17 Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and Michelin Pilot Power front tyres, which can be identified by the following markings on the sidewall:

  • a “Made in France” label
  • DOT 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T
  • Pilot Power: week numbers 2704 to 0406 inclusive
  • Pilot Power 2CT: week numbers 4505 to 1807 inclusive

These tyres will no longer be sold by dealers.

A special telephone number for consumers has been set up to provide customers with information about the campaign and will be operational on Monday 18 June from 8.30 a.m.

The telephone numbers are:

Intern: 00 800 22 1111 56
UK : 0800 454774
Republic of Ireland: 0044 (0)1782 401535
