From March 25, 2024, through June 5, 2024, Stellantis Europe Customer Experience (“CX”) department reviewed production data and assembly plant records and determined that some vehicles were built with a tire label and/or manufacturer label reporting incorrect nominal tire pressure values and/or incorrect tire size.

On June 20, 2024, the Stellantis Europe S.p.A organization recognized that the tire placard and/or manufacturer label was reporting incorrect information on certain vehicles, potentially resulting in a noncompliance with FMVSS No. 110.
