Michelin LT Tire Recall

There has been a recall notification from the NHTSA regarding certain Michelin light truck tires. Since these tires are common on smaller RVs and many tow vehicles, we thought you to be aware of the problem. If you have tires that are subject to this recall, please contact the Michelin recall hotline at 1-800-231-5893 for additional information. 

NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 13T012
