Recall 97V106000: Compact Spare Tire Rim Replacement

The compact spare tire assemblies were assembled with incorrect rims. If the spare tire is underinflated, the bead can separate from the rim causing a rapid loss of air. This does not comply with the requirements of FMVSS No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims." A rapid loss of air can increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Dealers will replace the rim on the compact spare tire assembly. Owners are requested not to use the spare tire until the rim has been replaced.
