Given that Michelin has had three "voluntarily" recalls involving over 2 million Michelin-branded tires since 2010 light truck tires since 2012 (and that doesn't include Michelin-branded passenger tires, or any of its Goodrich- and Uniroyal-branded tires), it doesn't surprise me in the least.
The key word being voluntary.
Bullschmit. Those recalls were "voluntary" in the same way that registering for the draft is "voluntary."
The ONLY reasons companies EVER "voluntarily" recall a product is to avoid civil penalties and to forestall further class action claims. PERIOD.
And if you think Michelin doesn't fight tooth-and-nail to limit the models included in a recall, like every other company does, you're smoking some pretty strong stuff.
