April 9, 2010

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations LLC (BATO) is recalling certain replacement Bridgestone Potentza RE050A tires (size 245/45R18 XL) and Bridgestone Turanza ER30 tires (size 205/65R16). The tires are missing required labels.

The missing labels could lead to the tires being overinflated or underinflated, "increasing the risk of a crash," according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

BATO will notify owners of the tires and will replace the tires free of charge. Owners may contact BATO at (800) 465-1904.
