Recall 04V499000
Equipment › Other › Labels — Pro-trak · reported 14 Oct 2004 · 1,900 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
CERTAIN GOOSENECK AND PINTLE HITCH TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, 'TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS.' THESE TRAILERS LACK THE PROPER INFORMATION AS REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD.
The risk
IMPROPER OVERLOADING AND/OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE COULD RESULT IN TIRE BLOWOUTS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A CORRECTED SUPPLEMENTAL CERTIFICATION LABEL THAT WILL CONTAIN THE MISSING INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT PRO-TRAK AT 1-903-873-8686.
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236.
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
