    AKRON (May 23, 2001)–Independent tire dealers will be among those retailers authorized by Ford Motor Co. in its recall of up to 13 million Firestone Wilderness AT tires on Ford Explorers, Explorer Mountaineers, Expeditions, Ranger and F-series pick-ups.

    While the details still are being worked out, a Ford spokesman told Tire Business the auto maker is “working with some major tire manufacturers to use their tire dealers to perform replacements for our customers and file for reimbursement for the customers through Ford.”

    The following, taken from Ford's Internet Web site, is the auto maker's current listing (as of 4:00 p.m., EDT May 22, 2001) of authorized replacements for the tires being recalled.

    Because this list is subject to change, dealers are strongly advised to consult their tire supplier or Ford (via telephone: 1-866-300-1226 or via e-mail: [email protected]) to obtain the latest information available.
