Consequence of Defect

vehicle description: certain motor homes fail to comply with requirements of fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." these vehicles were assigned an inadequate gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr). therefore, the tires and rims installed do not comply with the standard, causing premature front tire tread wear or tire failure during normal driving.

Corrective Action

this could lead to a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Recall Notes

dealers will remove and replace the tires and rims on these vehicles. in addition, the front coil springs will be removed and replaced with larger coil springs and a taper rear leaf spring added to each side.
