On certain travel trailers, the Certification label and the Tire and Loading Information label do not contain correct tire pressure information. The labels incorrectly indicate the tires ST225/75R15C, be inflated to a pressure of 65 psi, but instead should read 50 psi. Improper tire pressure can lead to tire failure which, in turn, can result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed dealers or to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.
On certain folding camping trailers, incorrect material was used in the manufacture of cable shafts within the power winch unit. If a shaft breaks, the roof could fall without warning into it's lowered position. This could result in personal injury and/or vehicle and property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the cable shafts with updated versions.
