- Campaign:
- 03V155000 on 04/23/2003
- Component:
- Equipment:other:labels
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1997 - 07/30/1998
- Affected:
- 4,243
- Defect:
- Certain passenger vehicles equipped with 2.8l vr6 engines fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "tire selection and rims." the recommended cold tire inflation pressure published on the label for tires of the size 205/50 r15 86h is 0.1 bar (1.45 psi) too low. it should be 2.5 bar (36.3 psi). the label recommends 2.4 bar (34.8 psi = 35 psi).
- Consequence:
- Under inflated tires can affect vehicle handling, and driving with substantially under inflated tires puts the consumer at risk for a crash.
- Correction:
- Owners will be provided with corrected labels, or a dealer can install the label if the owner wishes. owner notification began september 29, 2003. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact vw at 1-800-893-5298.
- Notes:
- Vw recall no. wn.customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
