The problem
Vehicle description: mini vans equipped with original equipment 16 inch tires. These mini vans do not have the correct recommended cold inflation pressure on the label and thus do not comply with section 5.1.2 Of fmvss 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."
The fix
Owners will be sent accurate tire information labels and owner manual inserts. In addition, owners of mpv's with 16" tires will be advised to check their tire pressure to make sure that the tires are inflated to 35 psi.
