YA< HOW DO I GET ANOTHER PILOT POWER woohoooooooo
I'd say that is a significant part of the story left out.
Its no biggie and about time, every tire manufacturer has had recalls. Its just so rare for Michelin I never seem to get a tire out of 'em!

Yeah, how do I know if my tires are in the affected range? Just installed them on my gf's Superhawk a little over a month ago....
And she already has run them at Maxton, up to 149.7...over and over again. Scary.

Michelin Announces Motorcycle Tire Recall
To date, no accidents or injuries reported
GREENVILLE, S.C., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Michelin has notified the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada
that it is recalling Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 2CT and Pilot(R) Power
120/70 ZR 17 (58W) front motorcycle tires with the "Made in France"
markings in the United States and Canada. This recall involves these
specific tires only and has no impact on any other Michelin tires. Related
actions are under way in other countries.
An examination of these tires 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 rider safety is the primary concern, Michelin has decided as a
precaution to replace the 120/70 ZR 17 (58W) Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and
Michelin Pilot Power front tires, which can be identified by the following
markings on the sidewall:
-- a "Made in France" label
-- DOT 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T
Any consumer in the United States or Canada who believes they are
affected by the recall should not wait to receive notification but should
call Michelin Consumer Relations at 1 866 324 2835.
The company will be replacing all potentially affected tires in a
comprehensive commitment to retrieve from the market any tire that does not
meet Michelin quality standards. Replacement tires are available at no cost
(including mounting and balancing) to consumers through participating
Michelin(R) motorcycle tire servicing retailers.
About Michelin
Dedicated to the improvement of sustainable mobility, Michelin designs,
manufactures and sells tires for every type of vehicle, including
airplanes, automobiles, bicycles, earthmovers, farm equipment, heavy-duty
trucks, motorcycles and the space shuttle. The company also publishes
travel guides, hotel and restaurant guides, maps and road atlases.
Headquartered in Greenville, S.C., Michelin North America
(http://www.michelin.com) employs more than 22,000 and operates 19 major
manufacturing plants in 17 locations.
About the DOT Code and Tire Identification Number
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) markings serve as the
tire's fingerprint and signify compliance with U.S. Tire Safety Standards.
The DOT code can be found on the sidewall right above the rim printed in
small type less than half an inch tall.
Make sure your tire is of the make and model:
Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 2CT or Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 120/70 ZR
17 (58W)
Then, look for a DOT code 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T on the sidewall.
If you are having difficulty identifying your tire's DOT code, please
ask your local tire dealer to assist you or call Michelin Consumer
Relations at 1 866 324 2835.
