What’s wrong with it?
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.
“B” LOAD RANGE TIRES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON VEHICLE, RATHER THAN “C” LOAD RANGE AS INDICATED ON FEDERAL STICKER.
FEDERAL REGULATIONS REQUIRE THE USE OF A “C” LOAD RANGE TIRE ON A TRAILER IN THIS WEIGHT CLASS.
THE LOWER “B” RANGE TIRE MAY BLOW OUT UNDER THE WEIGHT ON THIS TRAILER, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
