Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 110 or 120 - Tire Selection and Rims. The certification label may contain incorrect recommended tire size and tire pressure information. This could lead to tire under inflation and/or vehicle overloading, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will apply a revised label if necessary. Note: Although the information on the vehicle labels may be incorrect, tires of the correct size and rating were installed on the affected trailers.
On certain fifth wheels and travel trailers, the electrical motor for the awning could become damaged, allowing the awning to unfurl unexpectedly. As a result, the awning could strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the awning motor.
