Tread separation may increase the risk of a crash
December 16, 2025 - Bridgestone Americas Tire Operation (BATO) is recalling certain Firestone Destination LE3 tires, size 265/70R17. The belt edge insert (BEI) may be out of position, decreasing tire durability and causing tread separation. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles."
Remedy
Dealers will replace the tires as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 6, 2026. Owners may contact BATO's customer service at 1-800-847-3272.
