Issue

On certain travel trailers, the certification, tire and loading information placard does not contain correct tire size and load range information. The labels incorrectly indicate a tire size of ST205/75R15C a rim designation of 15x6.0JJ which have an 50 PSI maximum inflation pressure, while the trailers are fitted with ST225/75R15D with a rim designation of 15X6.0JJ which have a 65 PSI maximum inflation pressure. Incorrect tire pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in loss of vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Placards will be mailed to owners along with instructions for proper installation.
