The short answer
NHTSA received BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE, INC.’s report on Sep 1, 2000. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
NHTSA files this as a safety improvement campaign, not a safety recall.
NHTSA’s records of these campaigns say each is “not a safety recall”, but is “deemed a safety improvement campaign by the agency”. What’s wrong and the fix are below, in NHTSA’s words.
NHTSA, Recalls flat file before 2010. Released Oct 28, 2026. Updated daily.
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.
TIRE DESCRIPTION: NHTSA ISSUED A CONSUMER ADVISORY TO MAKE THE PUBLIC AWARE THAT THERE ARE STILL SOME FIRESTONE TIRES OUT IN THE MARKET WHICH COULD POSSIBLY SUFFER A TREAD SEPARATION.
MODELS INCLUDE ATX, FIREHAWK ATX, ATX 23 DEGREE, WIDETRACK RADIAL BAJA, WIDETRACK RADIAL BAJA A/S , WILDERNESS AT, AND WILDERNESS HT.
HOWEVER, SINCE MANY OF THEM WERE MANUFACTURED SEVERAL YEARS AGO, IT IS LIKELY THAT FAR FEWER ARE CURRENTLY ON THE RAOD.
THIS IS NOT BEING CONDUCTED AS A SAFETY CAMPAIGN.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Which tires, by their DOT codes: the range is in the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site, not in this file. Check the code on your tire’s sidewall against it.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
