U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number

Both U.S. and Canada Federal regulations require tire manufacturers to

place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information

identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and

also provides a U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number for safety standard

certification and in case of a recall.

This begins with the letters DOT and indicates that the tire meets all

federal standards. The next two numbers or letters are the plant code

designating where it was manufactured, the next two are the tire size

code and the last four numbers represent the week and year the tire was

built. For example, the numbers 317 mean the 31st week of 1997. After

2000 the numbers go to four digits. For example, 2501 means the 25th

week of 2001. The numbers in between are identification codes used for

traceability. This information is used to contact customers if a tire defect

requires a recall.

Tire Replacement Requirements

WARNING: Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the

same size, load index, speed rating and type (such as P-metric

versus LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally

provided by Ford. The recommended tire and wheel size may be found

on either the Safety Compliance Certification Label (affixed to either

the door hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the door edge that meets the

door-latch post, next to the driver’s seating position), or the Tire Label

which is located on the B-Pillar or edge of the driver’s door. If this

information is not found on these labels, then you should contact your

authorized dealer as soon as possible. Use of any tire or wheel not

recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your

vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle

control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Additionally the use

of non-recommended tires and wheels could cause steering, suspension,

axle, transfer case or power transfer unit failure. If you have questions

regarding tire replacement, contact your authorized dealer as soon as

possible.
