The problem
On certain travel trailers, the certification label has incorrect information. The wrong tire brand, tire size and cold inflation pressure is shown.
The risk
Under-inflation of the tires can lead to rapid tire wear and premature failure that could result in a loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will send replacement labels along with instructions. The recall began on may 27, 2005. Owners may contact skyline at 1-800-736-2573.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov.
