Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles have an "incomplete vehicle label" that incorrectly lists the maximum front tire inflation level to be 130 pounds per square inch (psi), when the correct level is 120 psi.

Why it matters: If the tire is overinflated due to the incorrect label, the tire may unexpectedly fail, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Newmar will notify owners, and freightliner will provide a corrected label, free of charge. The recall began on February 29, 2016.
