Why was it recalled?
Michelin North America, Inc. (Michelin) is recalling certain Pilot Alpin 5 winter tires, size 235/55R19 105 H XL for sport utility vehicles (SUV). The DOT certification symbol is missing from the tire sidewalls. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."
Consequence
Tires that are missing a DOT symbol may be used in inappropriate applications, increasing the risk of a crash.
What should you do?
Michelin will inspect and replace the tires, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 26, 2026. Owners may contact Michelin's customer service at 1-888-971-3801.
