Don't be so nit pickity. Looking up vanagon is like looking up Camaro.
From there you get the details one the model of the car. Good grief.

So the dealer has no liability for giving someone the wrong tire? Somehow,
I think they are most certainly responsible for putting the right tire on
the vehicle. Who would buy a tire from a dealer that never heard of your
vehicle anyway??
