1 Tire Tread/belt problem

Failure Date: 08/18/2006

I have 4 bridgestone tires, dueler at 693, lt 285/75/16, on my vehicle. Last week one of them became severely defective and had some sort of separation inside it. I see that these tires were subject to a voluntary safety campaign, # 04t018000 that has apparently expired. I was certainly never aware of this campaign or I would not have been risking my families safety with these tires without having them checked. I have had the tires approximately 2 1/2 years and apparently purchased them near or around the campaign dates. My question is, do I have any recourse in this matter. I now have one very defective tire, and three more with ample tread but are not apparently safe to drive my family around on. I don't believe bridgestone did a very good job notifying the consumers of this campaign.
