Subject: DML: Firestone to recall tires
DETROIT (AP) - Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. plans to announce Wednesday a
recall of about 20 million tires for light trucks and sport utility vehicles
that have been implicated in more than 40 fatal accidents, a source familiar
with the decision said Tuesday. Most of the Firestone ATX, ATX II and
Wilderness tires are on Ford Explorers, the industry's top-selling SUV, but
the recall will include tires on all brands of vehicles, the source said on
condition of anonymity. An announcement is expected Wednesday in Washington.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 270
complaints, including reports of 46 deaths and 80 injuries, about failing
Firestone truck tires. The complaints alleged that Firestone tires peel off
their casings, sometimes while the light trucks or SUVs are traveling at
high speeds.
