The defect
Certain motor homes fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, 'tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars.' the federal tire labels incorrectly state the cold tire inflation pressure for the toyo 12r22.5 rear tires.
The risk
This noncompliance could lead to premature tire wear and potentially a tire failure if the tires are inflated to the maximum inflation pressure. such a tire failure could result in the loss of steering control and could result in a crash.
The remedy
Owners will be provided with new federal tire labels which reflect the correct cold tire inflation pressure for the rear tires. the recall began on may 8, 2006. owners may contact country coach at 1-800-452-8015.
