NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Firestone announced Tuesday a voluntary safety recall of approximately 98,500 tires after an analysis showed a design flaw has caused cracks in certain tires.

Most of the recalled P205/55R16 Firehawk GTA-02 tires are fitted on the 2000 and 2001 models of the Nissan Altima SE. Firestone said it was not aware of any accidents, injuries or lawsuits related to the tires.

A company analysis of tires consumers brought back for adjustments determined that overly wide steel belts could lead to cracking on their surface.
