Synopsis:
Bridgestone
Americas Tire Operations, LLC (BATO) is recalling certain Firestone Destination
LE3 255/60R19 tires with DOT codes 2420 through 2820 and Bridgestone Ecopia H/L
422 Plus P255/60R19 tires with DOT codes 2820 through 3120. The recalled tires
may have been manufactured with a small pinhole in the upper sidewall of the
outboard side of the tire. As such, these tires fail to comply with the
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, "New
Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles." Tires containing a pinhole may
slowly leak air, and if undetected or ignored, the continued loss of air may
increase the risk of a vehicle crash. BATO will notify owners, and based on the
date code and press identification number of the tire, dealers will replace the
tires with a comparable replacement free of charge. The recall is expected to
begin December 18, 2020. Owners may contact BATO customer service at
1-800-847-3272.
