⚠️ What's wrong

Certain travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110 "tire selection and rims." the tire and loading information placard contains incorrect information regarding the maximum cargo carrying capacity.

💥 The risk

If the cargo weight is exceeded and the trailer overloaded, the excess weight CAN cause handling problems, irregular tire wear, tire failure or other damage. An overloaded trailer is hard to stop which could result in a loss of control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. This could occur without prior warning.
