04V229
Certain pickup trucks fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, "Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles other than Passenger Cars." Some trucks were inadvertently equipped with an incorrect load range tire. This would result in incorrect tire load ratings. Also, the tire may be inflated above the maximum appropriate inflation pressure. If a tire were operated in an over-loaded or over-inflated condition, the tire may fail, resulting in a rapid air loss, which can cause a crash.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace any incorrect load range tires. Additionally, if any tire is replaced, Ford recommends that the wheel lug nut torque be checked within 500 miles after any tire replacement. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began on May 21, 2004. Owners may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
