Pacific Coachworks Rage'N Recall 16V289: Wrong load capacity label may lead to overloading and tire failure

NHTSA campaign 16V289, reported May 11, 2016, 135 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The Federal Information label on certain 2016 toy haulers may list an incorrect Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) value. If the vehicle is loaded to the incorrect figure shown on the label, it can be overloaded. Overloading may cause a tire failure and increases the risk of a crash. The vehicles also fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 120 for wheels and rims.

If you own a covered vehicle, do not rely solely on the printed CCC value when loading it. Contact Pacific Coachworks customer service at 1-951-686-7294 to confirm whether your vehicle is affected. The repair is free: dealers will install a corrected Federal Information Tag showing the correct CCC information.

You can also check your VIN for open recalls at NHTSA.gov or through the dealer where you bought the vehicle.
