The recall involves 145 units where the curb weight, Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), and Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) are understated on the certification label. This error affects how well the trailer may be towed and causes the trailers to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110 and 49 CFR part 567.

Unsold units outside Xtreme Outdoors' control will also be issued new paperwork with the correct information.
