Certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 3.5-liter V-6 (L66) engines fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 120, "Tire Selection And Rims For Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars." The front and rear wheel rim size specifications on the tire/certification label are not correct. The printed wheel rim designation specified a 16-inch wheel when a 17-inch wheel designation was required.
