Warranty Changes At Bridgestone/Firestone USA

In a step at rebuilding consumer confidence in the Firestone brand Bridgestone/Firestone announced an extension of its limited warranty and 30-day money back guarantee in the United States. The range covered by the warranty will be extended from 53 product lines to 97 covering almost all the company’s products. The programme will replace tyres that become unusable “for any reason attributed to workmanship or factory defect” for the first three years of ownership, the first four years after manufacture, or until the tyre tread depth is worn down to 1/16th of an inch, whichever comes first.
