What is wrong

THESE VEHICLES HAVE A 370 LB. REAR LOAD RATING, WHILE THE REAR TIRE IS RATED FOR A 290 LB. LOAD. IF VEHICLE IS LOADED BEYOND THE TIRE LOAD LIMIT, A TIRE FAILURE MAY OCCUR IN SERVICE.

THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A NEW TIRE WITH A LOAD RATING OF 370 LBS. AT NO 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.
