What was wrong
Defect
CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH 8000 LB. TANDEM AXLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THE TIRE SIZE LISTED ON THE FEDERAL TAG IS INCORRECT.
Risk
AT THE INCORRECTLY STATED PRESSURE, THE REAR TIRES ARE UNABLE TO SUPPORT THE GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) FOR THE REAR AXLE.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW FEDERAL ID TAG WITH THE CORRECT TIRE INFORMATION FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 6, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NEWMAR AT 1-800-561-5790.
