Issued by PACIFIC COACHWORKS · Reported Mar 25, 2009 · 216 vehicles affected

What's wrong

PACIFIC COACHWORKS IS RECALLING 216 MY 2008 TANGO TRAVEL TRAILERS. THESE TRAILERS FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABELS DENOTING THE TIRE PRESSURE AND THE GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) IS INCORRECT. THE TIRE SPECIFIED PRESSURE READS 65 PSI WHEN IT SHOULD READ 50 PSI AND THE GAWR IS LISTED AS 3700 LBS WHEN IT SHOULD READ 3500 LBS.

Consequence

A MISPRINTED LABEL COULD LEAD TO IMPROPER VEHICLE LOADING OR TIRE INFLATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TIRE FAILURE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy

OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH NEW TIRE INFORMATION PLACARDS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. AT THE CUSTOMER'S OPTION, A DEALER CAN PERFORM THE INSTALLATION FOR THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 17, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT PACIFIC COACHWORKS AT 951-686-7294.
