Defect: CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110 "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THE TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION PLACARD CONTAINS INCORRECT INFORMATION REGARDING THE MAXIMUM CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY.
Consequence: IF THE CARGO WEIGHT IS EXCEEDED AND THE TRAILER OVERLOADED, THE EXCESS WEIGHT CAN CAUSE HANDLING PROBLEMS, IRREGULAR TIRE WEAR, TIRE FAILURE OR OTHER DAMAGE. AN OVERLOADED TRAILER IS HARD TO STOP WHICH COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH NEW TIRE INFORMATION PLACARDS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 27, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SKYLINE AT 1-800-962-7773.
Defect: ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE CERTIFICATION LABEL LOCATED ON THE ROAD- SIDE FRONT BOTTOM CORNER OF THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRAILER IS INCORRECT. THE TIRE COLD INFLATION PRESSURE IS INCORRECTLY STATED.
Consequence: UNDER INFLATION OF THE TIRES CAN LEAD TO RAPID TIRE WEAR AND PREMATURE FAILURE THAT COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: SKYLINE WILL MAIL REPLACEMENT LABELS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 8, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SKYLINE AT 1-800-929-1080.
Defect: ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE CERTIFICATION LABEL HAS INCORRECT INFORMATION. THE WRONG TIRE BRAND, TIRE SIZE AND COLD INFLATION PRESSURE IS SHOWN.
Consequence: UNDER-INFLATION OF THE TIRES CAN LEAD TO RAPID TIRE WEAR AND PREMATURE FAILURE THAT COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL SEND REPLACEMENT LABELS ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 27, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT SKYLINE AT 1-800-736-2573.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
