Issue

Issue:
A small number of tires may have been manufactured with a pinhole in the sidewall that may cause a slow air leak. Over time, this could lead to loss of air pressure that can cause reduced tire performance or result in a tire failure.
Note: This recall only affects certain tires with a Tire Identification Number (TIN) date code of 2821.

Safety Risk:
A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
Bridgestone 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.
