What Happened
Your vehicle's tire and loading information label lists the correct weight capacity, but there's a mistake on the label – it's not accurate. This label is like a guide for how to load your vehicle safely and check tire pressure.
Risk if Unfixed
If you rely on the incorrect label, you might load your vehicle or inflate your tires incorrectly, which could cause a tire to fail. This increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
You'll get a corrected label and instructions from the manufacturer, and you can choose to have a dealer install it for you at no cost. When you receive the recall notice, schedule an appointment with your dealer to get the correct label installed.
