New Honday Odyssey-Michelin PAX Run-Flat Tire Case
In March 2007, we filed a class action against Michelin and Honda alleging that the run-flat tire and wheel assemblies on the Honda Odyssey Touring model and the Acura RL with the technology package are defective. The complaint filed in the federal district court in Los Angles states that the replacement tires are not generally available, that the tires wear prematurely, and the cost of replacement tires is excessive. Owners are reporting that Honda and Michelin dealers are charging $180 per tire and $60 per tire for labor. Some owners have had to wait days for a replacement tire. More details on the case and the Michelin PAX tire and wheel were reported in the New York Times on March 11, 2007. The article is entitled "Run-Flat Tires: Are they Solving a Problem or Creating Several?"
