Not sure how many of us there are around here that ride but just in case I thought I should post this up. To date there haven't been any injuries from this recall but I'd hate to see any of us be the first.
Michelin to Recall Pilot Power Front Tires.
From the UK website:
(STOKE-ON-TRENT â 15 June 2007) â Michelin has launched a campaign to recall its Pilot Power 2CT and Pilot Power 120/70 ZR 17 front motorcycle tyres with âMade in Franceâ markings. An examination of these tyres showed a possible defect in the tread due to a manufacturing irregularity. No cases of pressure loss have been reported and no accidents have occurred.
Because customer safety is its primary concern, Michelin has decided as a precaution to replace certain 120/70 ZR 17 Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and Michelin Pilot Power front tyres, which can be identified by the following markings on the sidewall:
* a âMade in Franceâ label
* DOT 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T
* Pilot Power: week numbers 2704 to 0406 inclusive
* Pilot Power 2CT: week numbers 4505 to 1807 inclusive
These tyres will no longer be sold by dealers.
A special telephone number for consumers has been set up to provide customers with information about the campaign and will be operational on Monday 18 June from 8.30 a.m.
The telephone numbers are:
UK : 0800 454774
Republic of Ireland: 0044 (0)1782 401535
Here's to keeping the rubber side down!

Thanks for a heads up. Actually looking for new tires for the Beemer F650GS. Guess I will steer clear of those. :)

Judi,
Here is a link to an Australian Government Recall website, it details what action customers should take in order to get a replacement tire.
