Pro-trak Recall 04V561000: Tires
NHTSA recall 04V561000 · announced November 24, 2004 · filed by Pro-trak Trailers, Inc. · 3 units affected
The problem
THREE TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS." THE TRAILERS WERE INADVERTENTLY EQUIPPED WITH AN INCORRECT LOAD RANGE TIRE.
The risk
THIS WOULD RESULT IN INCORRECT TIRE LOAD RATINGS FOR THE STATED VEHICLE AXLE GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING. ALSO, THE TIRE MAY BE INFLATED ABOVE THE DOT LISTED INFLATION PRESSURE.
What to do
DEALERS REPLACED THE TIRES SINCE THESE TRAILERS WERE STILL IN THEIR POSSESSION. NO OWNER NOTIFICATION IS NECESSARY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN.
