What this recall means for you
Certain trailers have a federal certification label that lists incorrect tire and load range information. Because of this, the trailer may be loaded beyond its safe limit without the owner realizing it.
An overloaded trailer is more likely to be involved in a crash. Owners should check the placard on their trailer and avoid exceeding the capacities it lists until a corrected label is installed.
VanLeigh will notify owners and mail a corrected Federal Placard label at no cost. Owners can contact VanLeigh customer service at 1-662-612-4040, and you can check your VIN for open recalls on NHTSA's website.
