What is being recalled
THE TIRE CERTIFICATION LABELS INCORRECTLY IDENTIFY THE VEHICLE TIRE REQUIREMENTS AS P235/75R15 SL (STANDARD LOAD), RATHER THAN AS P235/75R15 XL (EXTRA LOAD).
Why it is dangerous
THE CERTIFICATION LABELS ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES DO NOTCOMPLY WITH FMVSS 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THANPASSENGER CARS." INCORRECT TIRE SELECTION COULD RESULT IN SUDDEN FAILURE OFA TIRE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
CORRECT TIRE INFORMATION LABELS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE MAILED TO THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. OWNERS WILL BE INSTRUCTED THAT DEALERS CAN INSTALL THE LABEL PROVIDED IF THEY PREFER.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 92V-123 when calling a dealer.
