Michelin tyres in Jaguar passenger car

The product poses a risk of traffic accident and injury due to a possible loss of pressure in Michelin tyres mounted on 20-inch wheel rims (MICHELIN 255/35 ZR20 97Y EXTRA LOAD PILOT SPORT 1 SERIES). The loss of tyre pressure may reduce the effectiveness of vehicle braking or steering. This may occur due to the partial separation of certain tyre wall components. The risk relates only to the tyres used in these vehicles and not to the design and production of the vehicle itself.
