Reported: 2002-05-10 (May 10, 2002)
CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS, TRUCK TRACTORS, AND BUSES EQUIPPED WITH 195/75R22.5 TIRES MOUNTED ON 7.5 INCH WIDE WHEELS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THESE TIRES AND RIMS DO NOT MATCH.
Consequence: TIRES MOUNTED ON RIMS THAT ARE TOO NARROW COULD EXPERIENCE A DECREASE IN SIDEWALL DURABILITY, AND COULD ALSO EXPERIENCE HIGHER TREADWEAR FOR TIRES MOUNTED ON THE STEERING AXLE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL NEW RIMS OF AN ACCEPTABLE WIDTH (8.25 - 9 9INCHES) FOR THE 295/75R22.5 TIRE SIZE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 23, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.
