Details

What's wrong: The certification labels on these vehicles contain incorrect tire pressure information and therefore fail to comply with the requirements of motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims."

Why it matters: Incorrect tire pressure information could lead to an owner improperly inflating the vehicle tires. Driving on improperly inflated tires can lead to premature tire wear and possibly a crash.

The fix: Dealers will install an overlay containing the correct tire pressure information onto the existing vehicle certification label free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before April 19, 2011.
