The problem
Certain travel and fifth wheel trailers fail to comply with the requirements of part 567, "certification," and federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, "Tire selection and rims." The information provided on the certification and tire information labels denoting the tire pressure is incorrect.
The risk
A misprinted label could 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 remove the incorrect federal certification label and install a new corrected federal certification label free of charge. The recall began on october 3, 2007. Owners may contact komfort at 937-596-6849.
