What is wrong
CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120 "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THE TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION PLACARD CONTAINS INCORRECT "LOAD RANGE "B" INFORMATION REGARDING THE MAXIMUM CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY. THE CORRECT TIRE IS A LOAD RANGE "C".
What can happen
A FULLY LOADED TRAVEL TRAILER WILL OVERLOAD THE TIRES, WHICH COULD LEAD TO TIRE FAILURE, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE TIRES THAT ARE MARKED "LOAD RANGE "B" AND REPLACE IT WITH A "LOAD RANGE "C" TIRE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 30, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FLEETWOOD AT 1-800-445-3307.

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.
