The defect
Riverside RV is recalling certain model year 2016 Retro Travel Trailers, models 177SE, 166, 195, and 509, manufactured May 1, 2015, to July 31, 2015 and equipped with Coker whitewall tires. The affected trailers are equipped with Tire and Loading labels that list incorrect tire pressure information. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 574, "Tire Identification & Recordkeeping."
The risk
If an owner inflates the tires to the incorrect pressure listed on the label, the tire may be overinflated, and a tire blow out may occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Riverside has reprinted and sent the corrected labels to owners and dealers, free of charge. The recall began on September 1, 2015. Owners may contact Riverside customer service at 1-260-499-4578.
