What is being recalled
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2016 Fiat 500 vehicles manufactured June 11, 2015, to July 27, 2016. The tire placard on the affected vehicles lists a tire inflation pressure for the spare tire that exceeds the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Why it is dangerous
If the spare tire is used while overinflated, the tire may suddenly fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Fiat will notify owners, and dealers will add an overlay on the tire placard to the correct tire inflation information, free of charge. The recall began October 25, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-888-242-6342. Chrysler's number for this recall is S69.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 16V-667 when calling a dealer.
