The defect

TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE RECOMMENDED FOR REAR TIRE WILL NOT SUPPORT GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING; ALSO, WHEEL RIMS ARE NOT STAMPED DOT.

The risk

DURING HEAVY TOWING OR HAULING OF HEAVY LOADS, INFLATION OF REAR TIRES WOULD PRESENT A RISK OF TIRE FAILURE AND VEHICLES WOULD NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS 120.

The remedy

Notes

SYSTEM:REAR AXLE / FMVSS 120.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MULTI-PURPOSE PASSENGER VEHICLE.

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.
