NHTSA recall 04V232000
Equipment · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: Certain vans and wagons fail to conform to the requirements of part 567, "certification." For certain 2003 e250 vans built with lt225/75r16e tires, the rear axle rating is incorrectly listed on the label. In addition, the tire pressure is incorrectly listed on the label for the rear tires on certain 2002 e350 wagons and for the front tires on certain 2002 e250 vans built with these tires.
Why it matters: Failure to follow proper vehicle loading specifications or tire inflation recommendation can result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Owners will be provided with supplementary tire labels containing correct information and installation instructions. If an owner so desires, their dealer can install the label for them. The recall began on July 8, 2004. Owners should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
