Recall 05V-491: 2006 Skyline Aljo Limited, 2006 Skyline Layton Limited and 2 more
SKYLINE CORPORATION recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Oct 24, 2005, covering about 90 vehicles.
The problem
Certain travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110 "tire selection and rims." the tire and loading information placard contains incorrect information regarding the maximum cargo carrying capacity.
The risk
If the cargo weight is exceeded and the trailer overloaded, the excess weight can cause handling problems, irregular tire wear, tire failure or other damage. An overloaded trailer is hard to stop which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. This could occur without prior warning.
The fix
Owners will be provided with new tire information placards and installation instructions. The recall began on october 27, 2005. Owners may contact skyline at 1-800-962-7773.
