Recall 2013130

The issue

On certain vehicles, the spare tire may have been under- or over-inflated during assembly. In some instances, the over-inflation may have been significant. High trunk compartment temperature, such as when the vehicle is parked in the sun, could cause an over-inflated tire to burst. Also, if the spare tire is installed as a road wheel, an under- or over-inflated tire could fail. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will check and, as necessary, either adjust the spare tire inflation pressure or replace the spare tire.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le pneu de rechange peut avoir été sous-gonflé ou surgonflé pendant l'assemblage. Dans certains cas, le surgonflage pourrait être important. La température du compartiment du coffre arrière, comme lorsque le véhicule est stationné au soleil, pourait causer l'éclatement d'un pneu surgonflé. De plus, si le pneu de rechange est installé en tant que roue porteuse, un pneu sous-gonflé pourrait faire défaut. Ces problèmes pourraient endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront vérifier et, au besoin, régler la pression de gonflage du pneu de rechange.
