2001 Coachmen Catalina recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: travel trailers. The wrong load range tires were inadvertently installed. Affected units will have load range "b" tires instead of the required load range "c" tires.
💥 The risk
If the travel trailer was loaded to a weight that exceeded the capacity of the tires, a tire failure could occur, resulting in a loss of control.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install load range "c" tires on affected vehicles. Owner notification began may 18, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact coachmen at 1-219-825-5821.
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.)
