What NHTSA recorded
Some of the involved vehicles may have been equipped with lr78-15 "c" load range truck tires instead of lr78-15 "b" load range passenger car tires. The wheels presently on the involved vehicles are intended for use with passenger vehicle tires and were not rated for the higher maximum air pressure and load ratings molded into the sidewall of the lr78-15 "c" load range truck tires.
Remedy
The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace "c" load range tires with "b" load range tires, without charge.
