Firestone Tire Recall

by on June 30, 2009

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC is recalling 127,183 defective tires.  The recalled tires are Firestone FR380 tires, size P235/75R15, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).  The tires were manufactured from September 9, 2007 through July 2, 2008.

The recalled tires were produced with insufficient tread base gauge, NHTSA said. Continued use of the tires may lead to vibration and groove cracking. In addition, extended use could lead to tread distortion or tread separation and loss of vehicle control, NHTSA said.
