Recall 95V162000

What's wrong
THE TIRES/TIRE PRESSURES AND WHEELS LISTED ON THE LABEL ARE INCORRECT. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS."
The risk
CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: INCORRECTLY SIZED TIRES WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT LOAD CAPACITY FOR THE VEHICLE'S SPECIFIED GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE.
The fix
OWNERS WILL BE MAILED A SUPPLEMENTARY LABEL CONTAINING THE CORRECT TIRE INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE LABEL ON VEHICLES. IF OWNERS PREFER, THEIR DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM.
SYSTEM: EQUIPMENT: CERTIFICATION LABEL; FMVSS NO. 120.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: WALK-IN VANS BUILT ON CHEVROLET P42 CHASSIS.NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A SUPPLEMENTARY CERTIFICATION LABEL WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, CONTACT UTILIMASTER AT 1-219-862-4561. ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-800-424-9393.
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
