The tire placard label on your Dodge Journey shows the maximum weight your vehicle can handle. Unfortunately, some 2014-2015 models have incorrect information, which could lead to overloading.
Risk if Unfixed
If you don't know your vehicle's safe weight limit, you might overload it, which could cause a tire blowout or loss of control on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will replace the incorrect tire placard with a new one that shows the correct weight limits, all free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
