• Number Potentially Involved: 4,858
• Dates of Manufacture: January - May 2004
• [NHTSA Recall No. 04V229/Ford Recall No. 04C07]
• Noncompliance: Certain pickup trucks fail to comply with the requirements of
• Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, "Tire Selection and Rims for
• Motor Vehicles other than
• Passenger Cars." Some trucks were inadvertently
• equipped with an incorrect load range tire. This would result in incorrect tire
• load ratings. Also, the tire may be inflated above the maximum appropriate
• inflation pressure. If a tire were operated in an over-loaded or over-inflated
• condition, the tire may fail, resulting in a rapid air loss, which can cause a
• crash.
• Remedy: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace any incorrect load
• range tires. Additionally, if any tire is replaced, Ford recommends that the
• wheel lug nut torque be checked within 500 miles after any tire replacement. The
• manufacturer has reported that owner notification began on May 21, 2004. Owners
• may contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673.
