NHTSA recall 08V272000
Equipment · Hyundai Motor America
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with p235/60r18 tires. These vehicles fail to comply with the labeling requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 110 "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles." The black certification label affixed to the driver's side center pillar, incorrectly lists the gross axle weight ratings (gawr).
Why it matters: Overloading your vehicle may adversely affect handling and braking and may cause tire damage, resulting in tire failure and a crash without warning.
The fix: Hyundai will mail corrected certification labels along with the instructions to the affected owners. The customer will have the option for dealers to install the label free of charge. The recall began on August 5, 2008.
