Utilimaster Corporation: Equipment › Other › Labels
Utilimaster Corporation reported this defect to federal regulators on Aug 18, 1995 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 143. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
THE TIRES/TIRE PRESSURES AND WHEELS LISTED ON THE LABEL ARE INCORRECT. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS."
The risk
CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: INCORRECTLY SIZED TIRES WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT LOAD CAPACITY FOR THE VEHICLE'S SPECIFIED GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE.
The remedy
OWNERS WILL BE MAILED A SUPPLEMENTARY LABEL CONTAINING THE CORRECT TIRE INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE LABEL ON VEHICLES. IF OWNERS PREFER, THEIR DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 95V162000.
