What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (tire blowout leading to crash) where no specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Viking RV, LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Viking Epic 1706LS and Coachmen Sport 806LS recreational trailers manufactured between January 16, 2014, and May 28, 2014. The affected vehicles incorrectly list the recommended tire air pressure as 90 PSI instead of 60 PSI on the Federal Certification Tag and Tire Information Tag. This labeling error means the vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 119.

If tires are filled to the 90 PSI indicated on the current label, there is an increased risk of a tire blowout, which may result in a crash. Viking has notified owners and mailed corrected labels free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2014.

Owners may contact Viking customer service at 1-800-368-2829. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
