2008 Viking Epic & 2008 Viking Sport recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Viking rv is recalling 141 my 2008 Epic (model 2108ST) and Sport (model 108ST) camping trailers for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, 'tire selection and rims for motor vehicles." the information provided on the certification and tire information labels denoting the tire size and pressure is incorrect.

This standard specifies requirements for tire selection to prevent tire overloading and for motor home/recreation vehicle trailer load carrying capacity information. A misprinted label would lead to improper vehicle loading specifications or tire inflation which could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the certification and tire information labels with the correct labels. The recall began on october 13, 2008. Owners may contact viking rv at 1-800-368-2829.

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.)
