What NHTSA recorded

Due to an error in the vehicle assembly computer broadcast program, the involved vehicles were equipped with 14x5.5 inch wheel rims which were intended for use on passenger cars. The tires were not marked with the information specified by federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars". As a result, a non-compliance exists to this standard.

Remedy

The existing 14x5.5 inch wheels will be replaced with 14x6.0 inch wheels.
