THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS". THE TIRE PRESSURE PLACARDS INCORRECTLY SPECIFY THE FRONT TIRE PRESSURE FOR MAXIMUM LOAD CONDITIONS. AS A RESULT, TIRES COULD FAIL DUE TO OVERLOADING.

The remedy

THE OWNER WILL BE SENT THE CORRECT PLACARD AND HAS THE OPTION OF INSTALLING IT HIM/HERSELF OR HAVING THE DEALER INSTALL IT, FREE OF CHARGE.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
