What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH INCORRECT TIRE, WHEEL, AND INFLATION INFORMATION PRINTED ON THE FINAL STAGE MANUFACTURER'S CERTIFICATION LABEL. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VHEICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS."

The risk

CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: INCORRECT INFLATION OF TIRES CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR WHICH CAN RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE AND AN ACCIDENT.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSTALL A CORRECTED FINAL STAGE MANUFACTURER CERTIFICATION LABEL.

Notes

SYSTEM: CERTIFICATION LABEL; FMVSS NO.120.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FORWARD CONTROL WALK-IN VANS BUILT ON CHEVROLET OR GMC INCOMPLETE CHASSIS. NOTE: OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, SHOULD CONTACT UNION CITY BODY COMPANY AT 1-317-964-3121. ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-800-424-9393.

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.
