TIRES:TREAD/BELT

Issued by Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations · Reported Feb 1, 2022 · 10,380 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations (Bridgestone) is recalling certain Firestone Transforce HT, size LT275/70R18 with DOT code VN15TH71821and Transforce AT, size LT275/70R18 with DOT code VN15TR91821. The tires were manufactured with an incorrect inner liner compound, which could cause increased inner liner permeability or cracking, resulting in belt separation.

Consequence

Belt separation could lead to loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Bridgestone will notify owners and replace the affected tires with a comparable Bridgestone or Firestone brand tire, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 1, 2022. Owners may contact Bridgestone customer service at 1-800-847-3272.
