What is wrong

Certain light duty pickup trucks equipped with a heavy duty service package fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." a typographical error occurred resulting in an incorrect tire size and pressure on the safety certification label for these vehicles.

The risk

If the tires are inflated to the pressure indicated on the label, the customer will experience a harsher ride.

The fix

Owners will be sent a corrected tire information label and installation instructions. The customer may also have the dealer install the label on the vehicle, if they so desire. Owner notification began december 20, 2001. Owners who do not receive the free label and installation instructions within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-[removed].

Notes from the manufacturer

Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-[removed]).
