What the defect is
The tire label contains size and pressure information concerning the spare tire. The listed size (155R15) and pressure (40 PSI) are incorrect. The correct size and pressure for the spare tire are T125/90R15 and 60 psi.
What could happen
If an owner installs a spare tire and adjusts its pressure to 40 PSI, there is a risk of tire failure, especially if the vehicle is driven for a long period of time.
What gets fixed
OWNERS WILL BE MAILED A NEW, CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE LABEL TO INSTALL ON THEIR VEHICLES. IF OWNERS PREFER, THEY CAN TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND HAVE THEM INSTALL THE LABEL.

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 9 May 1995.
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.

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.
