Ford Will Replace All Wilderness AT Tires

May 22, 2001
Ford announced it would replace all Firestone Wilderness AT tires on any Ford vehicle, not just those that had been included in the earlier recall. Ford said it took the action based on "real world data, information from the federal government and lab testing" that indicated Wilderness tires not previously recalled could experience "increased failure rates."

Who Is Affected

Any owner of a Ford vehicle equipped with Firestone Wilderness AT tires is eligible for the program. The tires were included on some of the 1991-2002 model year vehicles listed below:

Ford Ranger
Ford F-150
Ford Expedition
Ford Explorer (including Sport and Sport Trac)
Ford Bronco
Mercury Mountaineer
Mazda B-Series
Mazda Navajo

How It Works

For older tires (over 3 years) Contact your dealer to have your tires replaced. Or, consumers may purchase tires elsewhere and be reimbursed. Ford will pay up to $110 per tire for 15" tires and $130 per tire for 16" and 17" tires. Consumers must take both the old tires and the receipt for the new tires to their Ford, Mercury or Mazda dealership for reimbursement.
For newer tires (under 3 years) Consumers hould receive a letter detailing where and when tires will be available. Under then, maintain proper tire pressure and obey posted speed limits.
If you replaced your Firestone Wilderness AT tires befoer May 22, 2001, Ford will reimburse you. Go to www.ford.com or call 866 300-1226 to request a reimbursement form.

Ford has etablished a 24-hour information number -- 866 300-1226. Questions can also be mailed to tireinquiry@ford.com.
