F 150 4WD Pickup V8-4.6L VIN W (2006)
1.
The DOT Code Location Chart provides the location of the DOT codes which must be inspected on the tires. Please note that a similar DOT code
is present on the opposite side of the tire but does not contain the date of manufacture code (the last four [4] digits), which is essential to this
inspection. All DOT codes are stamped or molded into the tire sidewall near the tire bead.
2.
NOTE: Steps 2, 4 and 5 apply only to vehicles that require the spare tires to be lowered in order to view the complete DOT code.
Retrieve the jack handle and lug wrench from their stowage compartment and lower the spare tire to view the DOT code. See the chart to locate
the tools.
3.
NOTE: The spare tire DOT code on all affected vehicles must be recorded on the repair order for entry later into ACES II whether or not that
code is listed in the Suspect Tire Identification Chart.
Recording the location of each inspected tire on the repair order, with its corresponding DOT code, will assist in quickly identifying which tire or
tires must be replaced when the vehicle returns to have the new tires installed.
