What NHTSA recorded

The reinforcement for the in-box spare tire carrier may have been attached using incorrect hex head bolts. If the carrier and reinforcement attaching bolts are incorrect, the potential exists for the tire sidewall to be damaged or weakened by extended contact with the sharp edges of the bolt heads.

Remedy

Dealer will replace bolts and any damaged spare tires at no cost to owner.
