What is wrong
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS". THESE LIGHT TRUCKS WERE INCORRECTLY CLASSIFIED AS PASSENGER VEHICLES AND WERE EQUIPPED WITH LOAD RANGE "A" INSTEAD OF LOAD RANGE "B" TIRES. THIS COULD LEAD TO INADVERTENT VEHICLE OVERLOADING.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE LOAD RANGE "A" WITH THE PROPER LOAD RANGE "B" TIRES, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

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.
