MICHELIN North America, Inc recently announced a safety recall of approximately 1.3 million of its Michelin LTX M/S commercial light truck tyres sold primarily in the US, Canada and Mexico.
The tyres are typically found on such vehicles as commercial light trucks, full-sized heavy duty vans, small RVs and some large pickup trucks.
The recall, which has been reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is being issued following an increasing number of tyres experiencing tread loss and/or rapid air loss.
The recalled tyres were manufactured between January 2010 and June 2012, says Michelin.
No accidents or injuries have been reported in connection with the recalled tyres.
