What this recall means for you
Certain 2016 travel trailers built between May and July 2015 and equipped with Coker whitewall tires have Tire and Loading labels that list incorrect tire pressure information. If an owner inflates the tires to the pressure shown on the label, the tires may be overinflated.
Overinflated tires can blow out, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should check the tire and loading label on their trailer and make sure the pressure it lists is correct before relying on it.
Riverside RV has reprinted and mailed corrected labels to owners and dealers at no cost. Contact Riverside customer service at 1-260-499-4578 to get your replacement label, and check your VIN for any other open recalls.
