I was notified of the federal safety agency recall number 12t-019 for a recall on my bf goodrich tires. I went to my local dealer mccarthy tires located at 119 linden st in scranton pa. The customer service rep told me I had to of bought the tires at mccarthy tire for them to do the recall replacement. After I insisted that they are an authorized service center they told me that they didn't have the tires and had to order them and would call me when they came in. I waited a week and a half and called mccarthy tire. When I inquired about the order they told me they did not have any tires in my size on order and they did not know what I as talking about. It appears they refuse to perform the service recall work if I didn't buy the tires from them.
