The problem
Certain travel and fifth wheel trailers have incorrect information on the federal identification tag and the tire and loading information label.
The risk
On the travel trailers, the gvwr and the axle rating is higher than the actual ratings for the axles installed. Loading the vehicle beyond the gvwr could result in poor vehicle handling and increased risk of property and a vehicle crash. On the fifth wheel trailers, the tire load range and maximum inflation data on the tag is incorrect. Over-inflating a tire could lead to personal injury and property damage.
The fix
Dealers will replace the federal identification labels and the tire and loading information labels. The recall began on june 26, 2007. Owners may contact keystone at 1-866-425-4369.
