Campaign:

06T012000 on 06/04/2006

Component:

Tires:tread/belt

Affected:

10

Defect:

Certain firestone destination a/t p265/75r16 passenger tires manufactured between january 29 and february 4, 2006. due to an improper machine setup, the tires may have been produced with a damaged innerliner which could result in a small area on the inside of the tire to have no innerliner coverage.

Consequence:

Tires built under such conditions may experience air permeation into the body of the tire. over time, this may lead to tread separation and air loss, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Correction:

Firestone will notify owners and replace the tires free of charge. the recall is expected to begin during june 2006. owners may contact firestone at 1-800-367-3872.

Customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
