Defect Summary:
The tire inflation pressure indicated on the vehicle certification label is not correct. The labels show the maximum tire pressure as 240 kpa/32 psi when it should be shown as 240 kpa/35 psi. As a result of this error, the load ratios for the 205/65R15 94h and the 215/60R16 95h tires exceed the levels permitted by FMVSS 120.Consequence Summary: If the tire is operated in an under-inflated condition, the load carrying capacity of the vehicle may be compromised, increasing the risk of a crash.Corrective Summary: Owners will be provided with a corrected label that they can apply to their vehicle, or they can have a dealer install the label, if desired. Owner notification is expected to begin during July 2004. Owners should contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500, option #4. |
