URGENT READ THIS -- Pilot Power and Power 2CT recall...
http://www.cnw.ca/fr/releases/archive/June2007/15/c5470.html
Michelin Announces Motorcycle Tire Recall
<<
To date, no accidents or injuries reported
>>
GREENVILLE, S.C., June 15 /CNW/ -- 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.
I've had some issues with my 2CT just recently installed on my 14; they get very squirrly on "tar snakes" and I never had the issue on previous PP's (not 2CT's)...Friday -- I read this people...
