ISSUE
Some 2000 model year Police Interceptors produced from 1/1/2000 through 8/14/2000 may have repeat issues with tire balance. This may be caused by
tire slippage on the rim.
ACTION
Check for tire slippage on the rim using the following Service Procedure and if necessary, refer the customer to a Goodyear Service Center for tire
service.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Use the following procedure to test for tire slippage on the wheel.
1.
Mark the tire and wheel for a reference location.
2.
Conduct three (3) 80-0 km/h (50-0 mph) full stops with 1 kilometer (1 mile) cool down in between each run.
3.
Inspect for slippage between the tire and wheel at the reference location.
If no tire slippage is evident, balance the tires following the 2000 Crown Victoria Workshop Manual procedures.
If tire slippage is evident, refer the customer to their local Goodyear Service Center for service. Goodyear has issued a Product Service Bulletin (PSB #
2000-48) which identifies the procedures to use to correct the issue.
