http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2007/06/15/michelin-recall.html

Michelin is recalling two makes of motorcycle tires, sold in Canada and the U.S., because of a tread defect, the company said Friday.

The recall applies to the Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and Pilot Power 120/70 ZR 17 tires.

Consumers should check the side of the tire for a "Made in France" label and either of the following codes: DOT 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T.

No associated injuries or instances of pressure loss have been reported to the company.

Michelin has not said how many tires are involved in the recall.

Consumers should contact the company for a replacement.
