I thought I would pass this NHTSA recall notice along to my fellow RV'ers. I signed up with NHTSA for recall alerts and just received this one regarding certain 22.5 Michelin tires:

NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 12T009

Synopsis:
Michelin North America, Inc. (Michelin) is recalling certain Michelin XZU3 LRJ, size 305/85R22.5, and Michelin XZU2 LRJ, size 12R22.5, tires produced between October 23, 2005, and September 3, 2011; and Michelin XM505 LRJ, size 305/85R22.5, tires produced between April 18, 2010, and May 8, 2010, and January 23, 2011, and February 12, 2011. These tires have a casing that may experience a loss of integrity and, in some cases, have rapid air loss. Rapid air loss of the tire while the vehicle is in use, could result in a vehicle crash. Michelin will provide information to customers on how to obtain replacement tires. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about April 30, 2012.
For more information for this particular recall, please go to 12T009.

Thank you,

That re call is of no meaning to RV'rs. None of the listed tires are for any RV application! I doubt they would even fit!

This is an urban use delivery truck tire. It should not be on a RV.
