Why it matters: Under these circumstances, a belt edge separation is posible, which could resulting in the loss of tire pressure.

The fix: Bridgestone/firestone will replace the tires which were installed as original equipment on these altima vehicles. Firestone is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Owner notification is expected to begin during March 2001.
