The defect
THE CERTIFICATION LABEL ON THESE VEHICLES HAS INCORRECT TIRE PRESSURE DATA. A TIRE PRESSURE RATING OF 110 PSI WAS LISTED FOR BOTH FRONT AND REAR TIRES. THE PROPER TIRE PRESSURE VALUES ARE 90 PSI FRONT AND 80 PSI REAR.
The risk
CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: INCORRECT INFLATION OF TIRES CAUSES EXCESSIVE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR THAT CAN RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE AND AN ACCIDENT.
The remedy
CORRECT CERTIFICATION LABELS WILL BE MAILED TO OWNERS WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE LABEL ON THEIR VEHICLES. IF OWNERS PREFER, THEIR DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM.
