Plain-English summary
Winnebago Industries, Inc. is recalling certain 2027 Arka recreational vehicles. The recall addresses an issue where the rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) and cold tire inflation values listed on the federal placard are incorrect. As a result, these vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other than Passenger Cars."
The incorrect GAWR and cold tire inflation combination can lead to unintentionally overloading the tires, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text.
