What’s wrong with it?
Tires that do not provide sufficient snow traction as expected can increase the risk of a crash.
Michelin North America, Inc.
(Michelin) is recalling certain Agilis CrossClimate C-Metric tires with DOT codes 0117 through 1423.
Please see the attached tire chart for a list of all affected sizes.
The tires are labeled as snow tires, but do not have sufficient traction to perform in all snow weather conditions.
