Bridgestone/Firestone North America is recalling certain Firestone FR710 tires, size 205/65R16; and Champion Fuel Fighter tires, sizes 205/65/R15 and 205/70R15.
The tires were manufactured between March 27 and April 9.
Bridgestone officials said the replacement passenger car tires may have been manufactured with inconsistent rubber coverage over the steel plies. As a result, the tread may separate, increasing the risk of a crash.
Bridgestone will notify the owners that purchased the tires, and dealers will replace the tires free of charge.
Owners may contact Bridgestone customer service at 1-800-847-3272 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov.
