Bridgestone Motorcycle Tire Replacement on Certain Triumphs

Model: Bridgestone Exedra G850 G 180-70R1677H, 2008-2009 Triumph Rocket III - Bridgestone Americas tire operation (Bridge Stone) is recalling 1,018 Bridgestone Exedra G850 G motorcycle tires, size 80-70R1677H, sold as original equipment for MY 2008 and 2009 Triumph Rocket III touring motorcycles. The motorcycle to which these tires are applied develops very high torque and can cause torque-induced degradation in a body ply which may result in inner liner cracking that may lead to a slow leak in the rear tire. Apparently this condition does not affect the front tire. Consequence: The affected tires may begin to vibrate at moderate speeds. Continued use of a tire with this condition can lead to a vehicle crash. Remedy: Bridgestone is working Triumph to notify owners and the defective tires will be replaced free of charge. In addition, the front tire will be replaced free of charge to the matching requirements of the motorcycle. The safety recall is expected to begin during April 2009. Owners may contact Bridgestone toll free 800-465-1904 NHTSA Campaign ID# 09T004000
