Pirelli recalling some tyres

Pirelli has initiated a recall campaign for Pirelli 285/35 ZR19 PZero Corsa tyres manufactured from May 2007 to July 2009. The tyres in question are equipped on the Ferrari 430 Scuderia and 430 Scuderia Spider 16M. Owners of these cars have been contacted to explain that if they have rear tires marked with the “XB” identification mark, they may need substituting.

Owners have been invited to contact Ferrari service centers, where
Pirelli will immediately replace the tires with new Pirelli PZero Corsa tires at no charge. The recall campaign is a preventative measure only. Due to a manufacturing discrepancy, PZero Corsa tires marked “XB” could incur partial detachment of portions of the tread blocks. Although this problem may only occur under severe circumstances (running at very high speeds for long distances), Pirelli and Ferrari have chosen to replace all rear tires on the vehicles in question.
