The defect

As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 110, "Tire Selection and Rims", and 567, "Certification."
The risk
Incorrect tire/rim and GAWR information may cause the trailer to be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.
