On certain fifth wheel and travel trailers, the Tire & Loading Information label does not contain correct Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) and tire inflation pressure information. The label indicates a GAWR of 1678 kg (3700 lbs) but instead should read 1588 kg (3500 lbs). They also indicate a rear tire inflation pressure of 448 KPa (65 psi), but instead should read 345 KPa (50 psi). Loading the vehicle beyond the actual GAWR could result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed to owners along with instructions for proper installation.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2009091.
