OUTLANDER FMVSS LABEL REPLACEMENT – SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN
PURPOSE
This campaign bulletin instructs dealers to apply a new overlay label that covers the incorrect rear wheel rim size portion of the original certification label.
BACKGROUND
Due to a production oversight, the incorrect rear wheel rim size was entered into the label printing system. The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) certification label on affected vehicles shows a rear wheel rim size of “17X7.0J” instead of the correct “18X7.0J.” If the vehicle’s wheels are replaced with those of an incorrect rim size, it can result in an increased risk of a vehicle crash.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
- 2018 – 2019 Outlander built between August 8, 2017 – July 26, 2018
|
IMPORTANT Affected new or used inventory vehicles must be repaired before the vehicle is sold/delivered. Dealers must check their inventory vehicles’ VINs on the Warranty Superscreen to verify whether the vehicle is involved in this recall campaign. It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to sell/deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by the notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied. |
REQUIRED OPERATIONS
Before starting this campaign procedure, CHECK THE WARRANTY SUPERSCREEN to verify if the vehicle is an affected VIN for this campaign and this campaign procedure has not already been completed.
