What's wrong
"B" LOAD RANGE TIRES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON VEHICLE, RATHER THAN "C" LOAD RANGE AS INDICATED ON FEDERAL STICKER. FEDERAL REGULATIONS REQUIRE THE USE OF A "C" LOAD RANGE TIRE ON A TRAILER IN THIS WEIGHT CLASS. THE LOWER "B" RANGE TIRE MAY BLOW OUT UNDER THE WEIGHT ON THIS TRAILER, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
The fix
UPON INSPECTION, "B" LOAD RANGE TIRES WILL BE REPLACED WITH "C" LOAD RANGE TIRES WITHOUT CHARGE.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: RECREATIONAL VEHICLES.SYSTEM: SUSPENSION; TIRES.CONSEQUENCES OF DEFECT: BLOW OUT MAY CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL RESULTING INAN ACCIDENT.
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.
