What is wrong
Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations LLC (Bridgestone) is recalling certain Firestone HP3000 315/80R22.5 18 ply tires manufactured January 2012 through August 2013 and sold to customers in Guam. The affected tires may lose pressure from a crack at the inner liner splice. Such a crack could penetrate into the sidewall, resulting in a bulge on the sidewall.
What can happen
A sidewall bulge may result in a tire deflation and subsequent tire failure which increases the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
The recall began January 21, 2014. Owners may contact Bridgestone at 1-617-633-3026.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
