Details
What's wrong: These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims." The affected vehicles were delivered with 15-inch wheels instead of 16-inch wheels as intended, and the tire label indicates 16 inch wheels.
Why it matters: The wheels on the vehicle do not conform to the tire label as required.
The fix: Dealers will replace the 15 inch wheels with 16-inch wheels free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during May 2009.
