The problem
On certain travel trailers, the federal certification label is incorrect. The axle weight rating shows 5200 lbs. When the correct rating should be 5080 lbs.
The risk
Prior to having the new label installed, owners must follow the correct rating of the axle and tire maximum capacity to prevent a blowout or damage to the axles.
The fix
Dealers will replace the federal certification label on the units involved. Owner notification began july 1, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact monaco at 1-877-466-6226.
