Is there a recall sub forum on here? Moderator, please move/copy this to one if there is an official recall forum. Apologies for being unable to locate it.

NHTSA Recall ID Number : 18T011
Synopsis : Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC (BATO) is recalling certain Firestone FS818 tires with date codes 2318-2418, Bridgestone M854 tires with date codes 2418-2518, Bridgestone M860A tires with date code 2518, and Bridgestone M864 tires with date codes 2318-2418, all of size 425/65R22.5. The sidewall steel body cords may be exposed, which can cause unexpected rapid air loss during use. As such, these tires fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires - Other than Passenger Cars." Rapid air loss can increase the risk of a crash. BATO will notify owners, and replace the tires with a comparable replacement, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact BATO customer service at 1-800-847-3272.
Mike. Comments are anecdotal or personal opinions, and worth what you paid for them.

Perhaps stay off the road all together?;)
Too many geezers, self appointed moderators, experts, and disappearing posts for me. Enjoy. How many times can the same thing be rehashed over and over?

Beware that semi-truck or cement mixer or dump truck next to you on the freeway.
