What NHTSA recorded
On certain motor homes built on spartan/freightliner chassis and equipped with michelin 255/80r22.5 xrv tires, the cords can fatigue if the tires are overloaded or underinflated.
Possible consequence
This may result in a loss of control and could increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace only the front tires. It is important that the front tires are not rotated to the rear. A certification tag documenting the new front tires installation and simultaneously increasing the rear tire inflation pressures to 105 psi will be issued. Owner notification began february 9, 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact newmar at 1-574-773-2381.
