BFGoodrich Tires is recalling 46,000 passenger and light truck tires after its quality system alerted the company to an issue affecting ride quality.

BFGoodrich Tires is recalling the larger number of tires to best assure that the up to 3,500 tires potentially affected will successfully be retrieved. To date, there have been no accidents reported and no property damage claims filed.

The DOT codes are found on the inner or outer sidewall of the tire just above the wheel rim and are printed in small type less than half an inch tall (5/16 inches). There are no issues with tires outside of these DOT weeks.
