Date Announced: 06/19/2000

Conequence: THE VEHICLE BECOMES DIFFICULT TO TOW AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MILES PER HOUR.
Action Need To Fix It: DEALERS WILL ADD ADDITIONAL WEIGHT TO THE A-FRAME OF THE TRAVEL TRAILER, REVISE THE FEDERAL AND WEIGHT LABELS, AND TOWING INSTRUCTIONS, AND HIGHER CAPACITY TIRES WILL BE ADDED TO ACCOMMODATE THE ADDED WEIGHT.
