Bridgestone/Firestone North American Tire (BFNAT) has announced U.S. recalls of light truck/SUV and motorcycle tires.
In both cases, the recalls are because of incorrect sidewall markings. BFNAT said that no “structural or performance safety issues” exist with either product.
The light truck/SUV tires – 2,100 of them – are Bridgestone Dueler H/T 684 II in size P235/60R17 produced in September and October 2007 at BFNAT’s Aiken , S.C. , plant. The tires under recall include the DOT numbers 7X0UBD43807, 7X0UBD43907, 7X0UBD44007, 7X0UBD44107 and 7X0UBD44207.
The 4,202 bias motorcycle tires in question are missing part of their DOT numbers, as well as the maximum load rating, corresponding inflation pressure markings, the tube-type markings and the stamping indicating the ply cord material and the number of plies.
The tires and sizes under recall are Accolade in sizes 4.00-18, 3.50-19 and 3.50-18, Battlax in sizes 90/90-10 and 3.50-10, the RS10 in size 2.50-17 and the SP Universal in size 3.50-8. (Courtesy of Tire Review)
