Details

What's wrong: On certain minivans and 4x2 pickup trucks, the vehicle certification label may have gross axle weight ratings (gawr) that exceed the maximum tire load capacity as defined in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."

Why it matters: Improperly loading your vehicle can cause tire failure and result in a crash.

The fix: Owners will be provided with vehicle certification label overlays containing corrected information relative to vehicle gawr and tire size. Owner notification began March 1, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-992-1997.
