NHTSA Complaint #731062 — 1991 CHEVROLET PICKUP

I RECENTLY WENT TO THE FIRESTONE DEALER IN LAKE ELSINORE, CA TO HAVE MY FIRESTONE TIRES INSPECTED DUE TO THE RECALL. THE SERVICE TECH THERE LOOKED AT ONE OF MY TIRES AND SAID THEIR NOT RECALL TIRES SO YOU'RE OK. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER TIRE DEALERSHIP AND THE TOLD ME THAT THREE OF THE FOUR TIRES ON MY TRUCK ARE READY TO COME APART. THREE OF THE FOUR HAVE INCREASES IN THEM, THE FIRESTONE TECH TOLD ME THAT IS WHERE THE BELT COMES TOGETHER AND THEY WILL USUALLY COME APART IF THERE ARE FOUR CREASES. I CALLED BACK AND SPOKE TO THE FIRESTONE SERVICE MANAGER AGAIN ABOUT MY TIRES. HE SAID SINCE THERE THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THE BEST HE WOULD DO IS PRORATE THE RUBBER USE AND THEN CHARGE ME FOR THE NEW TIRES AT A PRORATED AMOUNT AND OF COURSE CHARGE ME FOR BALANCE AND MOUNTING. I DO BELIEVE THAT FIRESTONE NEEDS TO BROADEN THEY'RE RECALL. I AM NOW DRIVING ON DANGEROUS TIRES, NOT ONLY FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 50R15LTM/S )
