MATCHBOX INTERNATIONAL 4000 SERIES ARMORED TRUCK NO16 NATIONAL SECURITY TRANSFER COMPANY 1/64

Matchbox International Armored Truck seen in a previously released National Security themed recolour. A casting which has long since seen its body revert to plastic but that actual crispness of its body features remain. From a new nine vehicle set. Mint and boxed.

DEFECT #1 - TIRES


Posted on: 2002-05-20
Description
Certain heavy duty trucks, truck tractors, and buses equipped with 195/75r22.5 tires mounted on 7.5 inch wide wheels fail to comply with requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no.  120, tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars.  These tires and rims do not match.

Consequence
Tires mounted on rims that are too narrow could experience a decrease in sidewall durability, and could also experience higher treadwear for tires mounted on the steering axle.

Corrective Action
Dealers will install new rims of an acceptable width (8.25 - 9 9inches) for the 295/75r22.5 tire size.  Owner notification began august 23, 2002.  Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.

Notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
