Concern

Sidewall may crack

Defect, as DVSA words it

Under certain operating conditions it is possible that the aforementioned tyres may suffer side wall over flexing damage which will result in side wall cracks. This can occur before the tyre reaches it end of life therefore Michelin are taking this action to remove any risk.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Contact all owners to inform them of the issue and if required replace any damaged tyres.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
