The problem
Keystone rv is recalling 179 my 2009 springdale fifth wheel and travel trailers and my 2009 summerland travel trailers. There is incorrect information on the federal identification tag and the tire and loading information label which fails to conform to the requirements of part 567, "certification." The tag lists the tire size as 205/75r14c and it should be 205/75r15c.
The risk
The purpose of this part is to specify the content and location of, and other requirements for, the certification label to be affixed to motor vehicles to address certification-related duties and liabilities, and to provide the consumer with information to assist him or her in determining which of the federal motor vehicle safety standards are applicable to the vehicle.
The fix
Owners will be provided with corrected labels and installation instructions. If an owner so desires, they can have their dealer install the labels free of charge. The recall began on may 16, 2008. Owners may contact keystone rv at 1-866-425-4369.
