Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations is recalling 1,742 Firestone Destination LE3 tires in size 265/70R17. A manufacturing issue may have caused a component called the belt edge insert to be placed incorrectly, which reduces the durability of the tire. This defect can cause the tire tread to separate, and authorized dealers will replace the affected tires for free.
If the tread separates from the tire while driving, it can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
Free tire replacement by authorized dealers.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 25T021. Affected tires fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139.
