The issue
On certain model travel trailers, the tires may have inadequate clearance with the trailer floor and may be damaged when travelling over large bumps or pot holes if the trailer is loaded to the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). This could result in a blow out which could lead to a crash, resulting in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will install a lift kit between the frame and the axle mounting brackets to increase clearance between the tires and floor.
Description (français)
Sur certains modèles de remorques de tourisme, les pneus peuvent avoir un espace insuffisant avec le plancher de la remorque et pourraient s'endommager lorsqu'ils roulent sur de grosses bosses ou dans des nids de poule si la remorque est chargée au poids nominal brut du véhicule. Il pourrait s'en suivre l'éclatement du pneu qui pourrait causer un accident, endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser une suspension surélevée entre le châssis et les supports de fixation de l'essieu pour augmenter l'espace entre les pneus et le plancher.
