What is wrong
THE EXISTING CERTIFICATION LABELS CONTAIN INCORRECT RIM SIZE INFORMATION.

THE EXISTING LABELS SPECIFY THE USE OF 16.5X6.00 REAR WHEELS INSTEAD OF THE CORRECT 16.5X6.75 WHEELS.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
A NEW LABEL WILL BE INSTALLED INDICATING THE CORRECT SIZE REAR WHEEL. THIS WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
