2019 DODGE JOURNEY Vehicle Warranty

3.OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
At least monthly, the vehicle owner(s) should check the tires’ air
pressure with a gauge and inflate to the recommended cold air
pressure level listed on the driver ’s door placard. Do not rely on car
servicers to perform the checks. The tires should be rotated at least
every 8,000km (5,000 miles) or earlier if uneven wear is occurring, and
proof of maintenance records should be kept. The owner(s) should
have the tires rebalanced if vibration is experienced, and the vehicle’s
alignment should be checked if uneven or rapid wear is occurring, or
when suggested by the vehicle’s manufacturer.
All warranty claims must be presented to an authorized Falken dealer
or participating car dealership. The owner(s) must present any sup-
porting maintenance records and documentation necessary to help
determine if the tire(s) in question are deemed covered by the limited
warranty or not.
4. LEGAL RIGHTS
All implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and
fitness for a particular purpose shall be limited in duration to the above
period. To the extent permitted by law, Falken Tire Corporation shall not
be responsible for incidental or consequential damages, such as loss of
use of the tire or the vehicle on which it is used, inconvenience, or
commercial loss, some states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may
also have other rights, which vary from state to state. This is the only
express warranty applicable to Falken brand tires and supersedes the
terms of any previous warranty. Falken neither assumes nor authorizes
anyone to make or assume for it any other warranty.
C) UNDERSTANDING YOUR TIRES
TIRE SPEED SYMBOLS
Tires that are speed-rated are identified by the following letter symbols:
Q, S, T, U, H, V, W, Y, (Y), or (ZR). The Speed Rating’s Symbol can be
found as a part of the tire size designation (ex: 215/65HR16) or after the
load index immediately following the tire size designation (ex: 215/
65R16 97H). The Speed Rating’s Symbol indicates the maximum speed
that a tire can handle when properly inflated and loaded.

NOTE:**For tires with speed symbols W and Y, ZR may or may not also
appear within the size designation. For tires with a maximum speed
above 186 MPH a ZR must appear in the size designation.
DATE OF TIRE MANUFACTURE
The date that a tire was manufactured can be determined by examining
the last 4 digits of the 12 digit DOT serial code, which is found on at least
one sidewall of a tire. For tires that were produced after the year 2000, the
last 4 digits of the serial code will identify the week and the year that the
tire was manufactured. If the last 4 digits in the DOT serial code were to
read “3013” it would mean that the tire was manufactured the 30th week
of 2013. If you are uncertain, check with a qualified tire service profes-
sional to be sure.

DOT Symbol And DOT Serial Code
The “DOT” symbol claims that the tire conforms to all applicable US
Department of Transportation motor vehicle safety standards for tires.
The identification/serial number follows the “DOT” symbol. Here is an
example of a DOT serial code:
(a) DOT Symbol(d) Tire Manufacturer ’s Code
(b) Manufacture Plant Code (e) Week of Production (01-52)
(c) Tire Size Code (f) Year of Production (last two digits
of year)
TIRE SIDEWALL LABELING
FALKEN TIRE CORPORATION

MAX LOAD AND INFLATION
The maximum load and inflation pressure is marked on the tire sidewall
in English and metric units.
PLY COMPOSITION AND MATERIALS
The number of plies and their generic composition of cord materials in
the sidewall and tread areas can be found on at least one sidewall of a
tire.
RADIAL MARKING
A radial ply tire will have the word “radial” marked on at least one
sidewall. An “R” found in the tire size marking also refers to the tire
being a radial ply tire.
UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING SYSTEM (UTQG)
The Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards (UTQG) were created to
help you make an informed decision when purchasing passenger car tires
by providing relative information about a tire’s treadwear, traction, and
temperature characteristics. Here is a breakdown of the different catego-
ries that the UTQG grades:
TREAD WEAR
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified govern-
ment test course. For example, a tire graded150would wear one and a
half (1½) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The
relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
TRACTION
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, BandC. Those
grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on specific government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction perfor-
mance.
FALKEN TIRE CORPORATION
107

WARNING!
The traction grades assigned to this tire is based on straight ahead
braking traction tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
TEMPERATURE
The temperature grades are A(the highest), B, andC, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions or on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material
of the tire to degenerate and reduce in tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade Ccorresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.109. Grades Band Arepresent higher
levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than minimum
required by law.
WARNING!
The temperature grade for each tie is established for a tire that is
properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-
inflation, or excessive loading either separately or in combination,
can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
