What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: motor homes. The subject motor homes, when built with a disproportionate front axle weight distribution, fully equipped, loaded with cargo, and operated with improper tire pressures, can experience an overload condition on a front tire.

Possible consequence

Overloading of a tire can lead to tire failure.

Remedy

Dealers will equip the subject motor homes with new larger capacity front tires, will adjust the weight distribution on the front axle (if necessary), apply new certification labels, and reinforce consumer education about the importance of tire maintenance, including rotation, alignment, and tire inflation pressure.
