On certain travel trailers, the certification, tire and loading information placard does not contain correct tire size and load range information. The labels incorrectly indicate a tire size of ST175/80R3D which have an 65 PSI maximum inflation pressure, while the trailers are fitted with ST175/85R13C which have a 50 PSI maximum inflation pressure. Incorrect tire pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in loss of vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Placards will be mailed along with instructions for proper installation.
