What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

CERTAIN GOOSENECK AND PINTLE HITCH TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, 'TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS.' THESE TRAILERS LACK THE PROPER INFORMATION AS REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD.

The risk

IMPROPER OVERLOADING AND/OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE COULD RESULT IN TIRE BLOWOUTS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A CORRECTED SUPPLEMENTAL CERTIFICATION LABEL THAT WILL CONTAIN THE MISSING INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT PRO-TRAK AT 1-903-873-8686.

Notes

CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
