NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 08T024

Synopsis:
Bridgestone Firestone (BFNT) is recalling 184 Firestone brand FS400 tires, 
size 315/80R22.5 Load Range L, commercial truck tires manufactured between 
June 15 and June 28, 2008. These tires were not branded with the maximum 
speed limit rating required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 
119, "New Pneumatic Tires for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of more than 4,536 
kilograms (10,000 pounds) and Motorcycles." If these tires are used at 
speeds above their 55mph maximum speed limit, there is a possibility that a 
tread/belt detachment may occur, leading to a loss of vehicle control. This 
creates a risk of a crash, serious injury, or death. BFNT will notify owners 
of the safety campaign. Firestone dealers will replace the tires of the line 
and sizes covered by this campaign with new tires; and mount the replacement 
tires free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or about September 
19, 2008. Owners may contact BFNT toll-free at 1-800-847-3272.
