2001 Dodge Neon recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with the sport appearance package fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS 110, "tire selection and rims." certain vehicles built with 16" wheels and tires were equipped with the incorrect tire placard.
💥 The risk
The label specifies the wrong recommended tire size. This could cause the owner to select incorrect replacement tires.
🔧 The fix
Owners will be provided with a new label, or, if the owner wishes, their dealer CAN install the label for them.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
