- Problem
- Monroe Towmaster, LLC (Monroe Towmaster) is recalling certain 2021-2022 TC-14D, T-24, and TC-24 trailers. The tire load rating on the installed tires is less than the capacity rating of the trailer. Tires installed onto trailers were "E" rated instead of the required "F" rating. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 109, "New Pneumatic and certain specialty tires," and number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires-Other Than Passenger Cars."
- Risk
- The tires may become overloaded, which can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

- 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.nhtsa.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain 2021-2022 Towmaster trailers were fitted with tires carrying an "E" load rating instead of the required "F" rating. The tire load rating is lower than the trailer's capacity rating, so the tires can become overloaded and do not meet federal tire safety standards (FMVSS 109 and 119).
Overloaded tires can fail, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should be aware of this risk when using the trailer, especially under heavy loads.
Authorized dealers will replace the affected tires free of charge. Owners can also contact Monroe Towmaster customer service at 1-320-593-4542 for more information, and should check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
