Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc Company Overview

Bridgestone / Firestone Company Profile Bridgestone / Firestone, a subsidiary of Bridgestone, was founded in 1990, when Bridgestone USA merged with Firestone Tire & Rubber. In addition to manufacturing tires, Bridgestone / Firestone also manufactures a wide range of products including air springs, building materials, synthetic and natural rubber, as well as industrial fibers and fabrics. Tennessee Nashville has more than 38 QS 9000 / ISO 9000 certified manufacturing facilities in the USA and numerous international facilities around the world.

The overview explains how to issue a tire recall by the National Highway Traffic Safety Authority. Collection is done by Firestone / Bridgestone and Ford Motor Company. This happened in May 2000. According to the website, Ford announced that they have confirmed that they only know that Firestone / Bridgestone 15 inch ATX and ATX II models and Wilderness AT tires are the only ones to recall the tires. Then, the website said the document of the Ford Motor Company "The official of the company has data indicating that the Firestone tire attached to the adventure sports multipurpose car under the tire pressure recommended by Ford is almost unsafe at maximum speed It showed that there is. The website then describes how the Ford car company and Firestone / Bridgestone objected to the tire pressure required to be considered a tire safe.

The second resource I learned was the Firestone Tire Recall Information Center website. This site contains a complete overview of ongoing tire recalls by Firestone / Bridgestone and Ford Motor Company. This site includes a personal story on the press release on tire recall and the impact of accident by Forstone / Bridgestone in separating Ford Explorer tires. Part of the website I have read specifically is the outline of tire recall.

In August 2000, Bridgestone / Firestone collected approximately 6.5 million Firestone ATX, ATX II, and Wilderness AT tires for sports utility vehicles, mainly including Ford Motor Company light trucks and Ford's best sellers. Explorer National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating firestone tires with about 150 traffic accident deaths and over 400 injured in the United States. The death of the majority of Firestone tires occurs when the cars roll over as the tires of the Ford Explorer rupture.
