What is wrong
The certification label on these vehicles have incorrect rear tire sizes listed. P215/70r14sl should be p215/75r14sl. This does not comply with fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: the incorrectly sized rear tire would not have sufficient load capacity for the vehicle's specified gross axle weight rating, increasing the potential for premature tire failure.
The fix
Owners will be mailed a supplementary label containing the correct rear tire information and instructions for installing the label on their vehicles. If owners prefer, their dealer can install the label for them.
