Problem: THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER HOIST COMPONENTS CAN BECOME LOOSE WHILE TRAVELING AND ALLOW THE SPARE TIRE TO MOVE FROM ITS STORED POSITION TO THE ROAD SURFACE.
Risk: THE SPARE TIRE CAN CONTACT THE ROAD SURFACE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE FOLLOWING VEHICLES.
Fix: DEALERS WILL ADD A PRIMARY SPARE TIRE SUPPORT BRACKET.
Problem: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES BUILT ON A CHEVROLET CHASSIS. THE FRAME RAIL EXTENSION WILL NOT SUPPORT A FULL LIQUID PROPANE (LP) GAS TANK. VIBRATION OF THE TANK CAN CAUSE THE MOUNTING HARDWARE TO BECOME LOOSE AND EVENTUALY COULD CAUSE THE TANK TO FALL OFF.
Risk: IF THE LP TANK FELL OFF, BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE COULD OCCUR.
Fix: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A RAIL SUPPORT FOR THE LP TANK.
Problem: THE CERTIFICATION LABEL ON THESE VEHICLES HAS INCORRECT TIRE PRESSURE DATA. A TIRE PRESSURE RATING OF 110 PSI WAS LISTED FOR BOTH FRONT AND REAR TIRES. THE PROPER TIRE PRESSURE VALUES ARE 90 PSI FRONT AND 80 PSI REAR.
Risk: CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: INCORRECT INFLATION OF TIRES CAUSES EXCESSIVE UNEVEN TIRE WEAR THAT CAN RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE AND AN ACCIDENT.
Fix: CORRECT CERTIFICATION LABELS WILL BE MAILED TO OWNERS WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE LABEL ON THEIR VEHICLES. IF OWNERS PREFER, THEIR DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM.
