NHTSA recall 98V021000
Equipment · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The tire and rim identification information is incorrect on these vehicles. This does not comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."
Why it matters: The 16" tires could not be inflated on the specified 15x7.0j rim.
The fix: Owners will be sent a safety certificaiton label partial overlay which will contain the correct rim size, and instructions for affixing this label to the vehicle. If an owner so desires, their Ford dealer can install the label for them.
