GREENVILLE, S.C.—Michelin North America Inc. has voluntarily recalled an estimated 100,000 tires, some of which the company said could have partial or full sidewall perforations that could cause them to lose air pressure.
Michelin said about 2,500 tires, about 2.5 percent of tires recalled, could have the perforations.
The recall involves certain sizes of the Michelin LTX M/S2, Michelin X radial LT2, and Michelin Latitude Tour tires sold primarily in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The tires typically are found on light trucks and SUVs.
Michelin said that no deaths, injuries or accidents have been reported in connection with these recalled tires. Owners of the affected tires should visit an authorized Michelin retail location as soon as possible to have the tires replaced at no charge.
According to Michelin, it has fixed the issue that prompted the recall.
