Equipment / Other / Labels
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
The tire inflation pressure label affixed to the left rear door states that the vehicle capacity is "1,100 pounds". This information is incorrect. The correct vehicle capacity weight is 860 pounds. This does not conform to the requirements of FMVSS no. 110, "tire selection and rims."
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Consequence of non-compliance: loading of the vehicle beyond the capacity weight can cause tire and vehicle damage that can result in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Hyundai will provide owners with a new label showing the correct vehicle capacity weight with instructions for application.
