Michelin is recalling 3,644 tires in Canada because of incorrect handling during the manufacturing process that may have caused a pinhole in the sidewall.

A loss of air pressure could cause increased tire temperature and excessive damage to the tire, potentially leading to a car crash.

Michelin retailers will therefore replace all affected tires. Models include:
  • 2013 Michelin LTX M/S2 P265/65R18
  • 2012-2013 Michelin LTX M/S2 P275/55R20
  • 2013 Michelin X RADIAL LT2 P275/55R20
