Ok, did anybody in yakima get their Michelins in Yakima?

And if so, where did they get the recall swap done?

I only ask cuz when i called the shop i got my tire from, they were talking to me like im a F'en idiot and didnt know what i was talking about. And when i told them i got the info from here, and from Forbes they were like... "UHH, we havnt heard anything." And saddly i cant go anywher else to get my tire swap done, cuz i gotta go where i got the tire. Quite honestly, i dont think ill need to get the recall done untill i hear things going wrong. BUT, i guess its always better to be safe then sorry.

Any thoughts?

Man sometimes i think this Forum should make its own Dedicated Shop for the Forum members. Kinda like Costco.

"till I hear..." what would that sound be???...
whump whump whump(tread seperation)... screetch (wheel locking) skid(you and bike) wherrrrrch(semi trying to stop)
Have you heard enough...
I would turn'm into Mich and have a rep call them... Talk to the owner of the shop, tell him 1000's are watching how he handles this one... give him one last chance to save face...
Really, since he sell's Mich, he has one (sane) choice, but to find out and honor the recall.
Don't for a second, chance your safety ( and others)by putting it off... your worth it and entittled !!!!!!!

Maybe you should copy this, make sure your tire qualifies, then if so, take it to an authorized Michelin dealer and not just where you bought it.
To date, no accidents or injuries reported

GREENVILLE, S.C., June 15 -- Michelin has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada that it is recalling Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 2CT and Pilot(R) Power 120/70 ZR 17 (58W) front motorcycle tires with the "Made in France" markings in the United States and Canada. This recall involves these specific tires only and has no impact on any other Michelin tires. Related actions are under way in other countries.

An examination of these tires 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 rider safety is the primary concern, Michelin has decided as a precaution to replace the 120/70 ZR 17 (58W) Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and Michelin Pilot Power front tires, which can be identified by the following markings on the sidewall:

-- a "Made in France" label
-- DOT 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T
Any consumer in the United States or Canada who believes they are affected by the recall should not wait to receive notification but should call Michelin Consumer Relations at 1 866 324 2835.

The company will be replacing all potentially affected tires in a comprehensive commitment to retrieve from the market any tire that does not meet Michelin quality standards. Replacement tires are available at no cost (including mounting and balancing) to consumers through participating Michelin(R) motorcycle tire servicing retailers.

Headquartered in Greenville, S.C., Michelin North America (www.michelin.com) employs more than 22,000 and operates 19 major manufacturing plants in 17 locations.

About the DOT Code and Tire Identification Number

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) markings serve as the tire's fingerprint and signify compliance with U.S. Tire Safety Standards. The DOT code can be found on the sidewall right above the rim printed in small type less than half an inch tall.

Make sure your tire is of the make and model:

Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 2CT or Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 120/70 ZR 17 (58W)

Then, look for a DOT code 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T on the sidewall.

If you are having difficulty identifying your tire's DOT code, please ask your local tire dealer to assist you or call Michelin Consumer Relations at 1 866 324 2835.
