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.
