What NHTSA recorded

The involved passenger vehicles were equipped with certification labels that fail to comply with the code of federal regulations part 567 title 49. The existing labels have incorrect information describing the vehicle as a "multipurpose passenger vehicle" and an "incomplete vehicle". In addition, the tire selection labels do not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims".

Remedy

The dealer will affix the correct certification labels to the vehicle at no charge to owner.
