The defect
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.
The risk
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.
The 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.

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 09V098000.
