The problem
The involved vehicles may not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "Tire selection and rims". The tire pressure placards incorrectly specify the front tire pressure for maximum load conditions. As a result, tires could fail due to overloading.
The fix
The owner will be sent the correct placard and has the option of installing it him/herself or having the dealer install it, free of charge.
