Recall 1997098

The issue

THESE VEHICLES DO NOT COMPLY WITH C.M.V.S.S 115 - VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. THE FOURTH CHARACTERS OF THE V.I.N. PLATE WHICH IS AFFIXED TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ARE CODED "F" RATHER THAN "E". "E" IS THE APPROPRIATE CODE FOR THESE 7000 POUND GVWR VEHICLES. AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE NINTH CHARACTER (CHECK DIGIT) OF THE V.I.N. IS ALSO INCORRECT. ONLY THE V.I.N. PLATE IS IN ERROR. THE SAFETY CERTIFICATION LABELS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS ON WHICH THE VEHICLE'S V.I.N. IS LISTED DISPLAY THE CORRECT V.I.N. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE INCORRECT V.I.N. PLATES.

Description (français)

Ces véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 115 - Numéro d’identification de véhicule. Le quatrième caractère de la plaque du NIV qui est fixée au tableau de bord est un «F» plutôt qu’un «E». Le «E» est la lettre appropriée pour désigner les véhicules d’un poids nominal brut de 7000 livres. Conséquemment, le neuvième caractère (le chiffre de contrôle) est aussi incorrect. Seule la plaque du NIV est erronée. Le NIV indiqué sur les autres étiquettes et documents de certification du véhicule est correct.Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les plaques de NIV erronées.
