What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 (potential overloading leading to crash) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Cruiser RV is recalling 2021-2022 model year Hitch trailers. The recall involves 264 units. The defect is that the vehicle certification label does not have the correct Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims-Other Than Passenger Cars."

Incorrect GAWR information may cause the vehicle to be overloaded, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.

Cruiser will mail new labels to owners, and dealers will replace them free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 18, 2021. Owners may contact Cruiser customer service at 1-574-206-7920 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
