DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles may exhibit a steering shimmy or body vibration during the PDI test drive or during the first few miles of
driving after the vehicle has been delivered to the customer due to flat spots on the tires. Flat spots on tires may be
caused by improper maintenance during dealer storage (e.g.: Vehicle was left stationary for a prolonged period of time in
high ambient temperatures).
REPAIR PROCEDURE
Preventive Measure to Eliminate Flat-Spots on Tires during New Vehicle Storage:
1. Adjust and maintain tire inflation pressure to 50 PSI.
2. Move the vehicle every two weeks to rotate the tires 90 degrees.
Procedure to Remove Flat-Spots on Tires:
1. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to 26 PSI.
2. Drive the vehicle for approximately 10 miles.
3. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the value specified on the door label or owner's manual and then verify that the
symptoms are gone.
NOTE: If the symptoms do not change after following the steps above, compare the vehicle to another vehicle of
the same year, model, and trim, with the same wheels and tires.
