The problem
Certain motor homes fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "Tire selection and rims." The information provided on the certification and tire information labels denoting the tire size is incorrect.
The risk
A misprinted label would lead to improper vehicle loading specifications or tire inflation which could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the certification and tire information labels with the correct labels free of charge. The recall began on october 9, 2006. Owners may contact coachmen at 1-800-453-6064.

Customers can 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.
