What happened

Phoenix Motorcars is recalling certain 2015 Zeus 300 and 2015-2017 Zeus 305 shuttle vans built on a Ford E-350 chassis. When these vehicles are loaded to maximum passenger capacity, they may exceed the weight limits designed for the rear tires, which could cause the tires to fail and increase the risk of a crash.

To remedy this issue, Phoenix will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace all vehicle wheels and tires with ones rated for higher loads at no cost. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Phoenix customer service at 1-909-987-0815.
