Recall 04V414000 · manufacturer campaign 04513

What's wrong

CERTAIN TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS," AND WITH PART 567, 'CERTIFICATION.' THE "COMPLETE VEHICLE" LABEL WITH THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR), GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR), RECOMMENDED TIRE SIZE AND TIRE PRESSURE WAS NOT INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE.

The risk

A MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE VEHICLE'S WEIGHT RATING, TIRE TYPE, OR TIRE PRESSURE MAY CAUSE A VEHICLE TO BE OPERATED OUTSIDE ITS DESIGNED PARAMETERS. THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.

The fix

DEALERS WILL MAIL VIN SPECIFIC LABELS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION. IF AN OWNER DOES NOT WISH TO INSTALL THE LABEL, THE VEHICLE MAY BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSTALLATION WITHOUT CHARGE. THIS RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.

INTERNATIONAL RECALL NO.04513.CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
