What the defect is
The brass valve stem is bent excessively, and may rub against the wheel rim. Valve stems that are bent more than 90 degress are considered overbent. Chafing against the wheel rim will cause a small hole to be made in the valve stem.
What gets fixed
THE VALVE STEM WILL BE INSPECTED ON TUBES THAT ARE IN SERVICE. IF THERE IS EVIDENCE OF CHAFING, THE TUBE WILL BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. CHARGES FOR INSTALLING THE NEW TUBE WILL BE REIMBURSED BY THE MANUFACTURER UPON RECEIPT OF THE ORIGINAL TUBE.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 5 December 1983.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Additional notes
Vehicle category: trucks.system: tire innertubes; valve stem.consequences of defect: slow loss of air may cause heat buildup in the tireresulting in destruction of the tire. If the tube is mounted on a wheel thatconnects to the steering assembly, loss of vehicle control and an accident mayresult.note: do not attempt to repair the tube by bending the valve stem. This coulddamage the stem or result in a stem with an improper bend angle.
Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
