GENERAL COACH - HENSALL recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Jul 2, 2007, covering about 19 vehicles.
The problem
On certain travel and park trailers, the gross axle weight rating (Gawr) on the federal certification label is incorrect.
The risk
The gawr ratings as shown on the certification label is 2,359 kgs (5,200 lbs). The actual value should be 2,304 kgs (5,079 lbs) for vehicles with 'd' range tires and should be 1,950 kgs (4,299 lbs) for vehicles with 'c' range tires. Overloading or exceeding the front gawr may create axle fatigue or failure resulting in a loss of vehicle control and/or a crash.
The fix
Owners will be provided a new certification label with correct information as well as installation instructions. A dealer will replace the label if the consumer so desires. The recall began on august 1, 2007. Owners may contact general coach at 1-519-262-2600.
