What this recall means for you
The certification label on these trailers lists incorrect tire and wheel rim information and an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). As a result, the trailers do not fully meet federal safety standards for tire selection and rims, and certification requirements.
Because the label gives the wrong load limits, the trailer could be overloaded without the owner realizing it. An overloaded trailer raises the risk of a crash.
Owners will receive a new certification label by mail at no cost. Notification letters were mailed on August 27, 2021. You can also contact Black Tie customer service at 1-574-277-3234 and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
