What's wrong?
The tire loading and information label on the 2010 Mustang Shelby GT 500 is the sticker that tells an owner and tire shop which tire size belongs on the vehicle. It supports correct tire selection, rim matching, inflation checks, and load information when tires are replaced or serviced. On this recall, the issue is not the tire itself. It is the printed rear tire size information.
Affected Shelby GT 500 vehicles have incorrect rear tire size information on that label. That means the vehicle does not match the federal tire selection and rim requirements for the label. The practical problem is simple: an owner, dealer, or tire shop reading the label gets the wrong rear tire size for the car.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because this is an incorrect marking issue, owners will not hear, feel, or see a mechanical symptom from the label itself.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific car.
What's the safety risk?
A wrong tire pressure label can lead owners to inflate the tires to the wrong pressure. That pressure error affects braking, handling, and stability during an emergency maneuver, increasing the risk of a crash. Until the label is corrected, confirm the right tire pressure before inflating. Repair will be free at any franchised Mustang dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Mustang Shelby GT 500 is included in this recall.
- Wait for Mustang's corrected tire label if you have not received it, and keep the current tire placard in place until the replacement arrives.
- Apply the corrected tire label using the mailed instructions so the rear tire-size information matches the required tire loading label.
- Reference recall number 10V030 when calling about the label or instructions.
- Drive cautiously until the corrected label is installed, and use the correct tire information to protect braking, handling, and stability in an emergency maneuver.
What happens at the repair
The remedy for recall 10V030 is a corrected tire label, not a mechanical parts repair. Mustang mails owners the correct tire loading label with instructions for where and how to attach it.

If a dealer visit is needed to handle the recall, the recall work is free once available.
