Manufacturer Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC
Components TIRES
Potential Number of Units Affected 1,827
Summary
Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC (BATO) is recalling certain 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.
