Tires: Recalls
Recall 00T005000: Firestone Tire Recall
Tire Description: Firestone Wilderness AT, tire size P235/75R15, produced at the Decatur, Illinois tire plant and all Firestone Radial ATX and Radial
ATX II tires, size P235/75R15. Operation of these tires at low inflation pressures, high speed, and in hot weather, can contribute to separation of the tire
tread.
If the tread separates from the tire, the driver can lose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash causing injury or death.
Firestone will replace the defective tires.
Until these tires are replaced, owners should check to ensure that the inflation pressure of the tires does not fall below the recommended tire pressure of
the vehicle manufacturer. Owner notification is expected to begin during August 2000. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an
agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Firestone customer service at 1-800-465-1904. Also
contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
