What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

PJ Trailers is recalling certain 2024 B5, B6, B8, C8, CC, CE, D3, D5, D8, DD, DG, DL, DM, DR, DT, F8, FD, FY, L6, LD, LS, LX, LY, P8, PL, T1, T6, T7, T8, T9, TF, and TJ trailers. The sidewall of the tires may experience bubbling and separate, causing loss of tire pressure. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires-Other Than Passenger Cars."

The risk

A loss of tire pressure increases the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the tires as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 08, 2024. Owners may contact PJ Trailers customer service at 1-866-752-8781.

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.nhtsa.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.
