Certain motorhomes fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 120 - Tire Selection and Rims. The certification label indicates an incorrect tire inflation pressure rating of 65 psi instead of 75 psi. At the stated pressures, the tires are unable to support the 5,000-lb front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Failure to follow proper vehicle loading specifications and tire inflation recommendations can result in tire damage and vehicle instability, which could result in a crash causing personal injury or death. Correction: Updated labels and installation instructions will be mailed to vehicle owners.
