NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLES MAY NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS". ON SOME VEHICLES THE TIRE AND RIM SIZE DESIGNATION AND THE COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE WERE NOT FURNISHED.

The remedy

DEALER WILL INSTALL A CORRECTED CERTIFICATION LABEL OVER THE EXISTING LABEL.

Notes

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: BUSES AND SCHOOL BUSES.SYSTEM: EQUIPMENT; TIRE INFORMATION LABEL.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: LACK OF INFORMATION REGARDING TIRES COULD LEAD TOSELECTION OF INCORRECT RIM AND TIRE REPLACEMENT AND IMPROPER TIRE INFLATION.THIS WOULD CREATE AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

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.
