Ukrtransbezpeka, within the scope of its powers, informs carriers and road transport users about the potential danger associated with the use of certain models of pneumatic tires manufactured by Michelin, which are in circulation on the Ukrainian market.
The relevant information was received by the Service from Michelin Ukraine LLC. The letter notes the possible non-compliance with the general safety requirements of certain tires that can be used on freight vehicles.
What models are in question
In particular, the information concerns the following models:
▸355/50R22.5 MICHELIN X MULTI Z (CAI 124164), type certificate UN R54 E2 0019624;
▸355/50R22.5 MICHELIN X LINE ENERGY Z (CAI 928196), type certificate UN R54 E2 0014812.
What is the potential danger
According to the manufacturer, some tires of the specified models may have manufacturing defects, in particular:
• cracks in the tire structure;
• deformations or protrusions on the side surface;
• other violations of the integrity of the structure.
The presence of such defects can lead to the destruction of the tire while driving, especially under load, high speed or prolonged operation. In turn, this creates additional risks for vehicle controllability, braking and general road safety.
What Ukrtransbezpeka recommends
Given the priority of safety and in accordance with the legislation in the field of general safety of non-food products, Ukrtransbezpeka considers it necessary to inform carriers in advance and calls for:
- check which tires are installed on vehicles;
- carefully inspect the tires for cracks, deformations or protrusions;
- in case of using the specified models or detecting signs of defects, contact official Michelin representatives for inspection, consultation and, if necessary, tire replacement;
- do not neglect the technical condition of the vehicle chassis.
For detailed information on the mechanism for checking and replacing tires, we recommend contacting Michelin Ukraine LLC or the company's official service partners directly.
Ukrtransbezpeka consistently cares about the comprehensive safety of carriers and passengers and uses its communication channels to timely inform about potential risks. We ask you to treat this information responsibly and take the necessary measures.
