Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
The inaccurate label may result in users overloading their trailer, resulting in axle or tire failure and increasing the risk of a crash.
Grand Design RV, LLC (Grand Design) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Reflection fifth-wheel trailers manufactured September 5, 2013, to June 30, 2015.
The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with axles rated to 5200 lbs. instead of 6000 lbs. as designed and as listed on the Certification Label.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, “Certification.”
