Details

What's wrong: The certification label on these vehicles have incorrect rear tire sizes listed. P215/70r14sl should be p215/75r14sl. This does not comply with fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."

Why it matters: Consequence of non-compliance: the incorrectly sized rear tire would not have sufficient load capacity for the vehicle's specified gross axle weight rating, increasing the potential for premature tire failure.

The fix: Owners will be mailed a supplementary label containing the correct rear tire information and instructions for installing the label on their vehicles. If owners prefer, their dealer can install the label for them.
