2014 Coachmen Sport & 2014 Viking Epic recall: tires

⚠️ What's wrong

Viking RV, LLC (Viking) is recalling certain model year 2014 Viking Epic 1906, Epic 1906ST, Epic 2107, Epic CWS8, and Epic CWS10, and Coachmen Sport 106, Sport 106ST, and Sport 107 recreational trailers, manufactured November 20, 2013, through May 28, 2014. The affected vehicles incorrectly list the recommended tire air pressure as 65PSI instead of 60PSI on the Federal Certification Tag and Tire Information Tag. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars."

💥 The risk

If the tires are filled to the air pressure indicated on the current label, there is an increased risk of a tire blowout which may result in a crash.

🔧 The fix

Viking has notified owners, and has mailed owners corrected labels, free of charge. The recall began in June 2014. Owners may contact Viking customer service 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.)
