3 recalls found. |
DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
Posted on: 2005-10-24
Description
Certain travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110 tire selection and rims. The tire and loading information placard contains incorrect information regarding the maximum cargo carrying capacity.
Consequence
If the cargo weight is exceeded and the trailer overloaded, the excess weight can cause handling problems, irregular tire wear, tire failure or other damage. An overloaded trailer is hard to stop which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. This could occur without prior warning.
Corrective Action
Owners will be provided with new tire information placards and installation instructions. The recall began on october 27, 2005. Owners may contact skyline at 1-800-962-7773.
