The problem
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with the sport appearance package fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss 110, "tire selection and rims." Certain vehicles built with 16" wheels and tires were equipped with the incorrect tire placard.
The risk
The label specifies the wrong recommended tire size. This could cause the owner to select incorrect replacement tires.
The fix
Owners will be provided with a new label, or, if the owner wishes, their dealer can install the label for them.
Contacts
Owner notification is expected to begin during december 2000. Owners who do not receive the free label and installation instructions within a reasonable time should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-992-1997. Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
