I got this from another broad it should help

Make sure your tire is of the make and model:
Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 2CT or Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 120/70 ZR
17 (58W)
Then, look for a DOT code 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T on the sidewall.

Michelin Announces Motorcycle Tire Recall



To date, no accidents or injuries reported

GREENVILLE, S.C., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Michelin has notified the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada
that it is recalling Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 2CT and Pilot(R) Power
120/70 ZR 17 (58W) front motorcycle tires with the "Made in France"
markings in the United States and Canada. This recall involves these
specific tires only and has no impact on any other Michelin tires. Related
actions are under way in other countries.
An examination of these tires showed a possible defect in the tread due
to a manufacturing irregularity. No cases of pressure loss have been
reported and no accidents have occurred.
Because rider safety is the primary concern, Michelin has decided as a
precaution to replace the 120/70 ZR 17 (58W) Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and
Michelin Pilot Power front tires, which can be identified by the following
markings on the sidewall:
-- a "Made in France" label
-- DOT 6UCW 980T or DOT 6UCW 979T
Any consumer in the United States or Canada who believes they are
affected by the recall should not wait to receive notification but should
call Michelin Consumer Relations at 1 866 324 2835.
The company will be replacing all potentially affected tires in a
comprehensive commitment to retrieve from the market any tire that does not
meet Michelin quality standards. Replacement tires are available at no cost
(including mounting and balancing) to consumers through participating
Michelin(R) motorcycle tire servicing retailers.

Make sure your tire is of the make and model:
Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 2CT or Michelin(R) Pilot(R) Power 120/70 ZR
