TIRES:SIDEWALL

Issued by Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations · Reported Aug 18, 2021 · 18,028 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations (Bridgestone) is recalling certain Bridgestone Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia P245/60R18, Dueler H/L Alenza 275/55R20, Ecopia H/L 422 Plus 235/55R20, Turanza EL440 235/60R18, and Firestone Destination LE3 225/65R17 tires with DOT code 2821. These tires may have been manufactured with a pinhole in 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."

Consequence

Tires containing a pinhole may slowly leak air, and the continued loss of air may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Bridgestone will notify owners and replace affected tires with a comparable Bridgestone or Firestone brand tire, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 17, 2021. Owners may contact BATO customer service at 1-800-847-3272.
