Recall 2016243

The issue

Certain travel trailers may have been manufactured with incorrect tires rated for 848kgs (1870 lbs) instead of tires rated for 998kgs (2200 lbs). These units were incorrectly supplied ST215/75R14C tires, instead of ST215/75R14D tires, which could lead to tire overloading. This could result in premature tire failure and/or cause damage to the trailer, which could affecting vehicle handling, and could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the tires with correct ones rated for the unit’s gross axle weight rating (GAWR).

Description (français)

Certaines caravanes classiques pourraient comporter des pneus ST215/75R14C, dont la capacité nominale se chiffre à 848 kg (1870 lb), plutôt que des pneus ST215/75R14D, d’une capacité nominale de 998 kg (2200 lb). Cela pourrait entraîner une surcharge des pneus, une défaillance de ceux-ci et/ou l’endommagement des caravanes, puis une perte de maîtrise des véhicules, ainsi qu’accroître les risques de collision causant des blessures et/ou des dommages matériels. Correction : les détaillants doivent remplacer les pneus ST215/75R14C par des pneus d’une capacité nominale se prêtant au poids technique maximal sous essieu des caravanes.
