Equipment: other: labelsReported April 5, 2005 · 500 vehicles affected
What is wrong

The rear gawr and gvwr will be incorrect when the gawr is limited by the tire capacity on chassis with these tires.
Risk
This could cause premature tire tread wear or tire failure during normal driving which could cause a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will mail new chassis identification labels with the correct gawr, gvwr, and tire information. The recall began on september 12, 2005. Owners may contact freightliner at 1‑800‑547‑0712.
