NHTSA recall 06V043000
Equipment · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Certain passenger vehicles equipped with 17-inch wheels and a 2.5L engine fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims." These vehicles were produced with a tire information label that lists an incorrect front tire size. The correct front tire size should be listed as 225/45 r17. The inflation pressure is correct.
Why it matters: A misprinted label could lead to fitment of improperly sized replacement tires.
The fix: Owners will be provided with a new tire information label and installation instructions. At the customer's option, a dealer can perform the installation for them free of charge. The recall began on February 27, 2006.
