What is wrong
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF PART 567, "CERTIFICATION." THE FEDERAL CERTIFICATION TAG FIGURES RELATED TO THE REAR TIRE PRESSURE TAG OF 60 PSI ARE INCORRECT. THE CORRECT REAR TIRE PRESSURE RATING IS 80 PSI.
What can happen
A MISPRINTED LABEL COULD LEAD TO IMPROPER VEHICLE LOADING OR TIRE INFLATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
FLEETWOOD WILL MAIL THE CORRECT FEDERAL CERTIFICATION TAG ALONG WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. FLEETWOOD IS ALSO ASKING OWNERS TO CHECK AND, IF NECESSARY, INFLATE THE REAR TIRES TO THE CORRECT 80 PSI. IF OWNERS ARE NOT COMFORTABLE INSTALLING THE LABEL THEMSELVES OR CHECKING THE TIRE PRESSURE, OWNERS CAN TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO THEIR DEALER. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 5, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FLEETWOOD AT 800-505-3418.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
