What’s wrong with it?
Without the proper markings, the tires may not be used in the appropriate driving conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.
Michelin North America, Inc.
(Michelin) is recalling certain CrossClimate+ tires in size 225/60R17 103V XL tires with DOT date code 4618.
The tires are not marked with the required UTQG treadwear, traction or temperature gradings.
In addition, on the designated outboard sidewall and on the inboard sidewall, the DOT certification symbol, which precedes the TIN (Tire Identification Number) has not been molded into the sidewall.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 139, “New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles.”

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Which tires, by their DOT codes: the range is in the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site, not in this file. Check the code on your tire’s sidewall against it.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
