Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations — Missing DOT Markings On Sidewall/FMVSS 139
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
What’s wrong
Tires that are missing a DOT symbol may be used in inappropriate applications, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What to do
Dealers will replace the tires as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 9, 2025. Owners may contact BATO's customer service at 1-800-847-3272.
