The problem
Certain model year 2010 mustang shelby gt 500 vehicles manufactured between october 28 and december 3, 2009, fail to conform to the tire loading and information requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "Tire selection and rims." The rear tire size information is incorrect.
The risk
Inflating tires to a pressure other than specified on the original labels may have an adverse effect on vehicle braking, and handling, and stability in an emergency maneuver increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Ford will mail owners the correct tire label along with instructions of where and how to affix the label. The safety campaign began on february 11, 2010. Owners may contact ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.
