Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations is recalling 10,380 Firestone Transforce HT, size LT275/70R18 with DOT code VN15TH71821, and Transforce AT, size LT275/70R18 with DOT code VN15TR91821, tires.
The tires were manufactured with an incorrect inner liner compound, which could cause increased inner liner permeability or cracking, resulting in a belt separation.
Belt separation could lead to loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Bridgestone will notify owners and replace the affected tires with a comparable Bridgestone or Firestone brand tire free of charge.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on April 1, 2022.
Owners may contact Bridgestone customer service at (800) 847-3272.
