Details

What's wrong: The tire and loading information placard on each vehicle contains inaccurate spare tire size and cold inflation pressure information. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 110,âtire selection and rims.â

Why it matters: An incorrect placard could lead to improper spare tire use or replacement which could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Gst will notify owners, and send each owner a corrected placard, free of charge. The safety recall began on June 5, 2012.
