What this recall means for you
The tire placard on certain Basecamp trailers does not list the correct information for the trailer's spare tire.

The vehicle does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 for tire selection and rims.
An incorrect spare tire can affect vehicle control and handling, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should be aware of this risk when choosing or replacing a spare tire.
