What is wrong
CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110 "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THE TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION PLACARD CONTAINS INCORRECT INFORMATION REGARDING THE MAXIMUM CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY.
What can happen
IF THE CARGO WEIGHT IS EXCEEDED AND THE TRAILER OVERLOADED, THE EXCESS WEIGHT CAN CAUSE HANDLING PROBLEMS, IRREGULAR TIRE WEAR, TIRE FAILURE OR OTHER DAMAGE. AN OVERLOADED TRAILER IS HARD TO STOP WHICH COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH NEW TIRE INFORMATION PLACARDS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 27, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SKYLINE AT 1-800-962-7773.

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.
