Potential Number of Units Affected: 6,134 Manufactured:
Defect Summary:
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.
Consequence Summary:
If the wheel rim size is incorrectly printed on a tire/certification label, a service technician who solely uses the tire/certification label for service information may attempt to replace a damaged wheel with an incorrect wheel.
Corrective Summary:
Owners will be provided with a corrected label and installation instructions. Owner notification is expected to begin during December 2003. Owners should contact Saturn at 1-800-553-6000.
