Issue

On certain Eddie Bauer travel trailers, the Compliance label and Tire and Loading Information label does not contain the correct tire information. The labels incorrectly indicate ST225/75R15D tires with 65 psi/448 Kpa tire pressure and 15 X 6JJ rims instead of ST225/75R16E tires with 80 psi/552 Kpa tire pressure and 16 X 6 J rims. As such, during replacement of the tires, a consumer could install incorrect tires and the vehicle could be unwittingly overloaded, which would result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.
