• Firestone Destination LE3 and Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus tires in sizes 255/60R19 and P255/60R19 manufactured outside of the affected production range and/or on an alternate press meet regulatory requirements and are not part of the recall.

Tires included in this recall may not comply with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) and/or U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) performance requirements. Affected tires may have been manufactured with a small pinhole in the upper sidewall of the tire. In rare instances, the pinhole may penetrate the tire inner liner and the tire may slowly leak air. If a slow air loss is undetected or ignored, the continued loss of air may increase the risk of a vehicle crash or personal injury. There are no known accidents or injuries involving tires subject to this recall.

Bridgestone is notifying regulatory agencies in Canada and in the U.S. in accordance with applicable laws. Bridgestone also is notifying known authorized Bridgestone and Firestone retailers, dealers, distributors, company-owned stores and end-user consumers that may have purchased tires included in this safety recall.

Owners of tires included in this recall are urged to contact their authorized Bridgestone or Firestone tire dealer or Bridgestone company-owned service centre to arrange for verification. Tires will be inspected to verify the tire identification number and press identification number. All affected tires will be replaced with a comparable Firestone Destination LE3 or Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus tire manufactured outside the production range, or with a suitable replacement tire. Tires will be replaced at no charge to customers.
