NHTSA Complaint #10568453 — 2011 FORD E-350

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM MICHELIN NORTH AMERICA, INC STATING THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON TIRES. I TOOK MY MOTORHOME TO AUTONATION FORD IN BRADENTON, FL FOR REPLACEMENT SINCE MY TIRES MATCHED THE RECALL NUMBERS (LTX M/S LT 225/75 R16 115/112R B3JH AKEX 3310). I WAS TOLD BY THE FORD SERVICE PERSON THAT MY TIRES WERE OK, THAT THEY DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE AFFECTED DATED. I CALLED MICHELIN AND GAVE THEM THIS SAME INFORMATION AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TIRES WERE INDEED COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. (DOT PRODUCTION PERIODS 0210-2512) I HAVE SINCE CALLED TIRE KINGDOM AND AM WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT TIRES TO COME IN SO THAT THEY CAN BE REPLACED. I FEEL THAT THE FORD DEALER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE RECALL NOTICE, OR MAYBE THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO THE REPLACEMENT, BUT THIS CONSTITUTES A SERIOUS LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF TIRE FAILURE.
