One of my local shops is promoting a whack of Dunlops so I gave that a read in case I should pass on the info.
Reading the article, it's pretty good how the quality containment system in place was already able to account go/no-go for all but 3 to 7 tires out of the thousands.
If someone wants to see any images I refer to in posts, first check my gallery here. If no bueno, send me a PM. More than glad to share.
Current Model: 1990 FJ1200 3CV since 2020
Past Models: 1984 FJ1100 - 2012 to 2020
1979 XS750SF - 2005 to 2012

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.

Ummm . . . Not really.  You get re-directed instantly to a site that is singing the praises of the Dunlops.  No recall info in sight.

The second link did work and I read the recall details. Good quality system to catch and contain.

Just checked the link, it worked.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
