What the defect is

Certain travel and fifth wheel trailers have incorrect information on the federal identification tag and the tire and loading information label.

What could happen

On the travel trailers, the GVWR and the axle rating is higher than the actual ratings for the axles installed. Loading the vehicle beyond the GVWR could result in poor vehicle handling and increased risk of property and a vehicle crash. On the fifth wheel trailers, the tire load range and maximum inflation data on the tag is incorrect. Over-inflating a tire could lead to personal injury and property damage.

What gets fixed

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FEDERAL IDENTIFICATION LABELS AND THE TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABELS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 26, 2007.

Your rights

A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.

That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 7 June 2007.

To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle

This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.

A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
