Voluntary Recall on 10,000 Michelin Truck Tyres

21 January 2004

Tyre manufacturer Michelin yesterday announced the recall of 10,000 truck tyres.

In a statement, the manufacturer said the decision to recall the tyres was voluntary.

Through its quality monitoring process, Michelin has come to the conclusion that a limited number of tyres within this production range may present, under Australian conditions of use, a risk of reduced robustness in the crown area, which may lead to a rapid loss of air pressure.
