What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Highland Ridge RV (Highland) is recalling certain 2019 Mesa Ridge Lite 2804RK and Open Range Ultra Lite 2804RK travel trailers. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), shown on the label as 7,675lbs, exceeds the safety chain rating of 7,600lbs.

The risk

The incorrect GVWR on the label may allow the vehicle to be overloaded causing loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Highland has notified owners and provide corrected labels, free of charge. The recall began March 18, 2019. Owners may contact Highland RV's customer service at 1-260-768-7771. Highland's number for this recall is 9904427.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to 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.
