Quoted from "Consumer Affairs" Oct 04 2004
BFGoodrich Tire Recall
September 30, 2004
BFGoodrich is recalling 46,000 tires carrying the BFGoodrich, Uniroyal, Liberator, Medalist, Phantom and Prospector brands. The company said they do not perform to company standards.
There have been no accidents or injuries reported and no property damage claims filed but the company said there may be similar performance issues with up to 3,500 tires, representing six tire brands. All recalled tires will be replaced free of charge.
The recalled tires have Department of Transportation tire identification numbers which begin with DOT BF and end with the last four digits 1504 or 1604. 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. There are no issues with tires manufactured outside of these DOT weeks.
Consumers should call BFGoodrich Tires at 1-877-788-8899 or Uniroyal Tire at 1-877-458-5878 or go to their tire dealer for a free inspection and replacement.

Here is the link to the BFG site showing the sizes and types of the tires recalled. There is also a description of the DOT numbers and what they mean at the page.

DAMN IT!!!
My dot codes are 0304 for the front 2 and 0204 for the rears. Mine do tend to vibrate strangely on the highway. Here I just attributed it to the idiots at sams not knowing how to operate the balancing machine for crap.....
Maybe I should be a bit more anal and have them work on my tires a bit more........maybe get some new ones anyhow?
