Home › Cars & vehicles › Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations — Pinhole…
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
Tires containing a pinhole may slowly leak air, and the continued loss of air may increase the risk of a vehicle 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.
