Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations is recalling 8,464 tires across three specific models: Firestone Destination LE2, Bridgestone Alenza Sport A/S, and Bridgestone Turanza EL440. These tires may have sustained cuts or tears to the bead—the part of the tire that sits on the wheel rim—during the sorting process at the factory. Owners of affected tires should contact an authorized dealer to have their tires inspected and replaced if necessary at no cost.

Risk

A damaged tire bead can cause the tire to suddenly lose air pressure while driving. This can lead to a loss of vehicle control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your tires to see if they match the following models and DOT date codes: Firestone Destination LE2 (size P265/65R17 110S, DOT codes 2522 to 2622), Bridgestone Alenza Sport A/S (size 235/55R20 102V, DOT codes 2422 to 2722), or Bridgestone Turanza EL440 (size 235/50R18 97V, DOT codes 2521 to 2621).
  2. If your tires match these descriptions, contact Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations (BATO) customer service at 1-800-847-3272 or visit an authorized dealer to schedule a free inspection.
  3. If the inspection confirms the tire bead is damaged, the dealer will replace the affected tire with a new one free of charge.
  4. For additional information or to check your specific VIN/tire status, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
