    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    Michelin North America, Inc. discovered that some of its replacement tires have a labeling issue where a code is printed backward. This error does not affect the tires' safety or performance. After reviewing Michelin's request, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration agreed that this issue is not a significant safety concern. Therefore, Michelin is not required to notify tire owners or provide a remedy for this minor labeling mistake.

    Simple Explanation

    Michelin made a little mistake on some tire labels, but it doesn't make the tires unsafe. The people in charge said it's not a big deal, so Michelin doesn't have to fix the labels or tell people who bought the tires.

  • 2025-03301 — Michelin North America, Inc., Receipt of Petition for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 10985
    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    Michelin North America, Inc. (MNA) has identified that certain Uniroyal Laredo tires do not fully comply with safety labeling standards because they lack a DOT symbol and full or partial tire identification number (TIN) on one sidewall. MNA filed a report about this issue on November 3, 2023, and requested an exemption, arguing that this noncompliance does not significantly impact motor vehicle safety. The affected tires were still manufactured to meet all performance standards and have correct markings on the opposite side. MNA has proposed solutions, including accepting all such tires in future recalls and improving testing and training procedures to ensure future compliance.

    Simple Explanation

    Michelin found that some Uniroyal tires are missing certain marks on one side, but they say this doesn't make the tires unsafe because the other side has all the right marks. They've promised to fix it for the future and offered to take these tires back if needed.
