What NHTSA recorded
Incorrect information on tire placards constitutes a failure to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims". The information concerning tire sizes and inflation pressures is applicable to both two and four door sedans. The statement covers four door but fails to specify two door sedans.
Remedy
Revised placards will be installed by owners, or by dealers without charge.
