2005–2006 Four Winds Chateau & 2005–2006 Four Winds Chateau Sport + 8 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain motor homes built on ford E-450 chassis 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 tire pressure is incorrectly listed on the label for the rear tires.
💥 The risk
At the incorrectly stated pressure, the rear tires are unable to support the gross axle weight rating (gawr) for the rear axle.
🔧 The fix
Owners and dealers will be mailed supplementary tire labels containing the correct rear tire inflation information. Owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673 or Four Winds at 1-574-266-1111.
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.)
