Details

What's wrong: The label indicates a capacity of 6,000 lbs, but instead should read 5,080 lbs. Also the tire size and maximum inflation pressure is listed at 235/80/r16e at 80 psi and it should be 225/75/r15d at 65 psi maximum inflation.

Why it matters: Loading the vehicle beyond the actual gawr could result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Owners will be provided with corrected labels and installation instructions. If an owner desires, they can have their dealer replace the tags for them. The recall is expected to begin during January 2009.
