What Happened
The tires on your limousine are designed to handle a certain weight, but some of them may not be up to code, which could lead to uneven wear or a blowout.
Risk if Unfixed
If your limousine's tires can't handle the weight, they could wear out faster or even blow out while driving, which could cause a loss of control.
Free Fix
Your authorized dealer will replace all five tires with new Michelin tires that can handle the weight of your vehicle, free of charge. Schedule the repair at your earliest convenience and mention this recall if it's not completed within a reasonable time.
