The defect
"B" LOAD RANGE TIRES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON VEHICLE, RATHER THAN "C" LOAD RANGE AS INDICATED ON FEDERAL STICKER. FEDERAL REGULATIONS REQUIRE THE USE OF A "C" LOAD RANGE TIRE ON A TRAILER IN THIS WEIGHT CLASS. THE LOWER "B" RANGE TIRE MAY BLOW OUT UNDER THE WEIGHT ON THIS TRAILER, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
The remedy
UPON INSPECTION, "B" LOAD RANGE TIRES WILL BE REPLACED WITH "C" LOAD RANGE TIRES WITHOUT CHARGE.
