Tire Recalls

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.

Foreign Tire Sales is recalling 138 Otani OH-306 425/65R-22.5 commercial truck tires with DOT code 0320.

What to do

Foreign Tire will notify owners and dealers will reimburse the customer for the affected tires.

The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification.

Owners may contact Foreign Tire customer service at (908) 687-0559.
