9th August, 2000

Wilderness AT Tires.
Company urges all drivers to maintain proper inflation in their tires.
14th August, 2000
Tread on certain lots and brands of Firestone Tires can separate causing vehicles to go out of control. Vehicles with
high centers of gravity, such as Sport Utility Vehicles, are especially susceptible to rollover accidents caused by this
separation.
1st September 2000
NHTSA releases a list of Firestone tires, universe being approximately 1.4 million, that they believe
consumers should replace. Many of these tires were produced years ago and are unlikely to still be in use, but in the
event a consumer is still using them, NHTSA recommends replacement.
The replacement of these tires would be at the consumers expense as Firestone has not initiated a recall. NHTSA also
recommends steps to be taken by consumers to prevent the possible acceleration of tread separation.
4th September 2000
Firestone announces the recall of 15" and 16" Wilderness AT tires produced in Venezuela. (There are 62,000 tires in this
universe.) Firestone's decision to recall comes after a weekend of negotiations with INDECU.
