Details
What's wrong: The subject vehicles have a powertrain control module that could allow the vehicle to exceed the design intent top speed. At these extreme speeds, the vehicle could be capable of exceeding the speed rating of the tire.
Why it matters: Operating the vehicle above the maximum speed rating could lead to a tire failure which at these speeds could result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module.
