NHTSA recall 08V273000

What's wrong: These trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." When tires were changed on these vehicles, the federal identification label was printed with incorrect information. The tire inflation is listed as 80 psi when the correct pressure should be 65 psi.

Why it matters: Over inflated tires could cause or contribute to premature tire failure; possibly resulting in a sudden blowout or other failure which could result in a loss of control of the unit increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will mail consumers the corrected labels along with instructions. Customers will have the option for dealers to install the label free of charge. The recall began on August 7, 2008.
