BridgeStone/FireStone is Recalling Almost 165,000 Tires With Insufficient Tread Base Gauge

BridgeStone/FireStone is recalling 162,251 tires because the tires were manufactured with insufficient tread base gauge. Prolonged use of the tires can lead to tread vibration and groove cracking which will ultimately cause the tread to distort or separate. Tread detachment is a serious concern for drivers because it can lead to loss of vehicle control which ultimately ends in a serious auto accident. BFNT will notify owners of the recall replace, remount and balance new tires on consumer's cars free of charge.

The tires in question are FIRESTONE/FR380/P235/75R15 manufactured between June 2006 and September 2007 and LEMANS/Champion SE/P235/75R15 manufactured between June 2006 and September 2006.
