What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, 'TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS.' THE FEDERAL TIRE LABELS INCORRECTLY STATE THE COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE FOR THE TOYO 12R22.5 REAR TIRES.

The risk

THIS NONCOMPLIANCE COULD LEAD TO PREMATURE TIRE WEAR AND POTENTIALLY A TIRE FAILURE IF THE TIRES ARE INFLATED TO THE MAXIMUM INFLATION PRESSURE. SUCH A TIRE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

The remedy

OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH NEW FEDERAL TIRE LABELS WHICH REFLECT THE CORRECT COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE FOR THE REAR TIRES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 8, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-452-8015.

Notes

CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.

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.
