What the defect is
The involved vehicles may not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 126, "truck-camper loading". The vehicle owner"s manual failed to provide specific center of gravity and dry weight information. Without this information, the camper could be installed in a truck where the manufacturer"s cargo weight would be exceeded or the center of gravity could fall outside the truck manufacturer"s recommended zone.
What gets fixed
OWNER WILL BE SENT THE CORRECT INFORMATION TO BE INSERTED IN THE OWNER"S MANUAL.

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 18 February 1977.
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.

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.
