National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Tire Recall August 27, 2021

Good morning, 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a tire recall.  The afflicted tires might fail increasing the risk of loss of vehicle control, a possible crash and risk of serious injury or worse.

Please review the recall.  If the tires on your vehicle are affected by this recall, please have them replaced as quickly as possible.  

Have a healthy and safe motoring day!

NHTSA Recall ID Number :

21T012

Synopsis :

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." Tires containing a pinhole may slowly leak air, and the continued loss of air may increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Bridgestone will notify owners and replace affected tires with a comparable Bridgestone or Firestone brand tire, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 17, 2021. Owners may contact BATO customer service at 1-800-847-3272.
