- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 96V027000
- Manufacturer: CHRYSLER CORPORATION
- Reported: 1996\-02\-05
- Owners notified: 1996\-03\-22
- Component: EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- Units potentially affected: 2500

## What is wrong

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES HAVE TIRE/WHEEL SPECIFICATION INFORMATION ON THE VEHICLE CERTIFICATION LABEL WHICH INDICATES A SMALLER SIZE TIRE THAN REQUIRED. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH LABEL REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS."


## What can happen

CONSEQUENCE OF NON\-COMPLIANCE:  THE SMALLER TIRES WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT LOAD CAPACITY FOR THE VEHICLES SPECIFIED GROSS WEIGHT RATING, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE AND AN ACCIDENT.


## The remedy

OWNERS WILL BE MAILED AN OVERLAY LABEL WITH THE CORRECT TIRE/WHEEL CERTIFICATION INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE LABEL ON THEIR VEHICLES. IF OWNERS PREFER, THEIR DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM.


## Notes

SYSTEM: EQUIPMENT; CERTIFICATION LABEL. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS AND VANS, 6800 AND 9000 LB. GVW ONLY.NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A NEW CERTIFICATION LABEL WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1\-800\-853\-1403.
