Over time, this could lead to loss of air pressure that can cause reduced tire performance or result in a tire failure. rnNote: This recall only affects certain tires with a Tire Identification Number (TIN) date code of 2821. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnBridgestone will send a letter to registered owners to advise you of this problem, and provide you with instructions for inspecting the tires. You should contact a Bridgestone or Firestone dealer if you need help inspecting them. Tires that are affected by this problem will be replaced.
