C&M Utility Trailer Recall for Missing Tire Placard Information

C&M is recalling 2015-2016 Utility trailers because the tire placard may lack required size information, which could lead to incorrect tire replacements.

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 (incorrect tire size leading to crash risk) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

C & M Trailers Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 76x16 Utility trailers manufactured between April 1, 2015, and December 4, 2016. The recall involves 2,605 units. The defect is that the tire placard on these vehicles may not display the required tire and rim size information. This failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims," and 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification," creates a safety risk.

The missing information on the tire placard may result in tires being replaced with ones of an incorrect size. Using incorrect tire sizes increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text, but the potential for harm exists due to the possibility of improper tire installation.

C&M will notify owners and provide a corrected tire placard free of charge. The recall began on February 21, 2017. Owners can contact C&M customer service at 1-972-875-4258 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
