2003 H&w H&W recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain 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 label.
💥 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.
🔧 The fix
Owners and dealers will be mailed supplementary tire labels containing the correct rear tire inflation information. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact h&w at 605-996-1690.
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.)
