NHTSA recall 00V356000
Tires · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Vehicle description: certain limousines stretched over 60 inches fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 109, "new pneumatic tires," and no. 110, "tire selection and rims."
Why it matters: The vehicle weight could exceed the maximum load rating for the tire, increasing the risk of premature tire wear or blowout.
The fix: Dealers will replace all 5 tires (including the spare tire) with michelin tires (225/70r16 107t reinforced white sidewall) with a sufficiently higher load rating. Owner notification began January 10, 2001.
