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.
