Firestone Destination recall 22T-021

Just got a letter yesterday, and nothing on search, so assuming not too many have had to deal with this recall of the Destination LE2 manufactured 7-9/22 (on Sports 265/65/17) yet? Mine falls under the date codes provided.... Seems my dealer knew nothing about it, nor does the Firestone store... so I will wait a few days and check again. Seems it is handled only through the Firestone stores, and they need to break down and inspect the inside of the tire, which I am not too happy about given the truck has just under 5k and they tend to hire hamfisted monkeys.

 

Pretty run of the mill type of thing for a tire store. The inspection is no big deal... Certainly better than a tire failure.

 

Link to the recall? Or post a picture of the mailer.

thanks... forgot to link it.

 

ya, well...I also had them mar up the rims on my jeep in the past and argue it wasn't their fault.... so ya, I get nervous, but yes it is better than a tire issue.

 

Isnt that why you buy a Jeep?

 

That's either a misadjusted tire mounting machine, wrong tools, or both. With a properly adjusted machine even a very ham-fisted person shouldn't ding up a rim.

 

LOL....I did try to keep them nice...but yes, some dings were inevitable.

 

Aware. I actually started out adult life as a tech in Ford shops....if i had access to the machine, i would do it myself. ;-)

 

I know that feeling. Lol
