What Happened
Your vehicle's tire label might be incorrect, listing a 15-inch spare tire when you actually need a 16-inch one for the front axle.
Risk if Unfixed
If you try to replace your spare tire with a 15-inch one, it won't fit because it'll interfere with the brake caliper. This could make it harder to change your tire in an emergency.
Free Fix
You'll receive a corrected tire label in the mail with installation instructions, or you can have your dealer install it for you at no extra cost.
