EVENT_SUMMARY
You have a specific type of Firestone Firehawk GTA-02 tire on your vehicle. The tire's DOT serial number starts with W2 T2 VF3, followed by a specific number, and ends with a number between 1800 and 4500. These tires may develop cracks in the shoulder area as they get older.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If you continue to drive on a tire with cracks, the belt edge can separate, which could cause a loss of tire pressure, potentially leading to an accident.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
Bridgestone/Firestone will replace the tire for free. They'll contact you in March 2001 to schedule the replacement, but you can also contact them at 1-800-465-1904 to arrange a service date.
