Details

What's wrong: The vehicle certification label on some pickup trucks lists incorrect tire, wheel, and recommended inflation pressure information which does not conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 120, 'tire selection and rims for vehicles other than passenger cars.'

Why it matters: Installing the incorrect tire/rim sizes and loading the vehicle to the weights shown on the label can cause tire failure and result in a crash without warning.

The fix: Owners will be provided with vehicle certification label overlays containing the corrected information relative to vehicle tire and rim size, and recommended inflation pressure. This recall began on May 5, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
