According to the recall notice, irregular tyre wear may develop, causing parts of the tyre reinforcement to break. This may lead to detachment of the tread layer and/or sudden deflation of the tyre.
The hazard is a risk of serious injury or death from a crash if the tread layer detaches or the tyre deflates.
If fitted with any of the listed tyres consumers are advised to stop using their motorcycle immediately.
Consumers should have the tyre checked by their local Pirelli or Metzeler dealer to arrange for a free replacement of the tyre or a full refund.
