Pro-Trak Trailers, Inc.: Tires
Pro-Trak Trailers, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Nov 24, 2004 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 3. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
THREE TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THE TRAILERS WERE INADVERTENTLY EQUIPPED WITH AN INCORRECT LOAD RANGE TIRE.
The risk
THIS WOULD RESULT IN INCORRECT TIRE LOAD RATINGS FOR THE STATED VEHICLE AXLE GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING. ALSO, THE TIRE MAY BE INFLATED ABOVE THE DOT LISTED INFLATION PRESSURE.
The remedy
DEALERS REPLACED THE TIRES SINCE THESE TRAILERS WERE STILL IN THEIR POSSESSION. NO OWNER NOTIFICATION IS NECESSARY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 04V561000.
