2000 Newmar Mountain Aire recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: motor homes. Incorrect information has been used on the vehicle identification number (VIN) tag. The tag shows tires information located under cold inflation pressure as 131 PSI for the front and 123 PSI for the rear. The maximum tire inflation pressure for the rim is 120 PSI. This does not comply with the requirements of FMVSS 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."
💥 The risk
The rim could possibly fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
New tags will be sent to owners.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
