Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles incorrectly list the recommended tire air pressure as 90psi instead of 60psi on the federal certification tag and tire information tag. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 119, "new pneumatic tires for vehicles other than passenger cars."

Why it matters: If the tires are filled to the air pressure indicated on the current label, there is an increased risk of a tire blowout which may result in a crash.

The fix: Viking has notified owners, and has mailed owners corrected labels, free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2014.
