The risk
CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: INCORRECTLY SIZED TIRES WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT LOAD CAPACITY FOR THE VEHICLE'S SPECIFIED GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE.
The fix
OWNERS WILL BE MAILED A SUPPLEMENTARY LABEL CONTAINING THE CORRECT TIRE INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE LABEL ON VEHICLES. IF OWNERS PREFER, THEIR DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM.
