Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem

- The fix
- Skyline is working with tredit tire to notify owners and have the wheels replaced with a 16" aluminum wheel. The recall began on september 8, 2005. Owners may contact skyline at 574-294-6521.
