Firestone Destination and Bridgestone Ecopia tires recalled

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations (BATO) is recalling 1,827 Firestone Destination LE3 255/60R19 tires with DOT codes 2420 through 2820, and Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus P255/60R19 tires with DOT codes 2820 through 3120.

The tires may have been manufactured with a small pinhole in the upper sidewall of the outboard side of the tire.

Tires with a pinhole may leak air slowly, and – if undetected or ignored -- the continued loss of air may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

What to do

BATO will notify owners, and based on the date code and press identification number of the tire, dealers will replace the tires with a comparable replacement free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin December 18, 2020.

Owners may contact BATO customer service at (800) 847-3272.
