CarRecallWatch- Component
- TIRES
- Problem
- Xtreme Outdoors (Xtreme) is recalling certain 2020 Little Guy Mini Max Trailers. The curb weight, Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) are understated on the certification label, affecting how well the trailer may be towed. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire selection and Rims" and 49 CFR part 567, "Certification."
- Risk
- There is a risk that the trailer may exceed the towing capacity of the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Xtreme will notify owners, and dealers will send new certification labels for all trailers affected by this recall, free of charge. Unsold units that are outside Xtreme Outdoors control will also be issued new paperwork with the correct information. The recall began September 22, 2020. Owners may contact Xtreme customer service at 1-888-469-9688.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
The certification label on these trailers understates the curb weight, gross vehicle weight rating and cargo carrying capacity. Because the listed limits are too low, the trailer may be towed beyond what the tow vehicle can safely handle, and the trailer also does not meet certain federal tire and certification requirements.
If the trailer exceeds the tow vehicle's towing capacity, the combination can become harder to control, raising the risk of a vehicle crash.
The manufacturer, Xtreme Outdoors, will notify owners, and dealers will provide new certification labels with the correct information at no charge. Owners can contact Xtreme Outdoors customer service at 1-888-469-9688, and should check their vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
