Michelin USA recalls classic tyres for a second time

,

In the USA, Michelin North America, Inc. (Michelin) is recalling certain XVS and TRX tyres, provided as replacement tyres for a previous recall in 2022 (specifically what NTDSA refers to as recall 22T023). The problem? The DOT symbol is missing from the tyre sidewalls. Of course, the problem is one of information. Tyres within a DOT symbol “may be used in inappropriate applications, increasing the risk of a crash”, according to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Just 46 TRX and XVS tyres are affected in sizes 240/55 VR 415 94W, 240/55 VR 390 89W and 185/80R15 93V.

‘Service campaign’ for Goodyear-shod VW ID.3

If a VW dealership informs an ID.3 owner during the course of a standard service appointment that the car’s tyres need to be replaced, it may not simply be a case of wear and tear. We’ve heard of one owner who was informed during a dealer workshop visit that the tyres on his VW ID.3 would need to be replaced if they were specific Goodyear original equipment tyres. He was told that there may be an issue with the tread, and the dealer replaced the Goodyear OE tyres with a new set of Continental tyres free of charge.
