What this recall means for you

On certain vehicles, the Tire and Loading Information placard may be hard or impossible to read. The placard lists the correct tire size and loading capacity, so if the text is illegible, the wrong size tire could be installed or the vehicle could be overloaded. Either situation can increase the risk of a crash.

If you own this vehicle, dealers will inspect the placard's legibility and replace it if needed. The inspection and replacement are free of charge. You can also contact INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200 and reference recall PC788.
