The problem
Vehicle description: motor coaches produced on roadmaster chassis and diesel class a motor coaches produced on freightliner chassis. The federal certification label contains the incorrect tire pressure inflation information. This does not comply with requirements of part 567, "certification" and fmvss no. 120, "Tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."
The risk
Under or over-inflated tires can cause or contribute to premature tire failure, possibly resulting in a sudden blowout or other failure which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle.
The fix
Dealers will replace the certification label with a new label, which contains the correct recommended tire inflation data.
