Chateau Travel Trailer, Fifth Wheel: Label
Affects Chateau Travel Trailer, Fifth Wheel · 2006–2008 — about 38 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain fifth wheel trailers, travel trailers and park trailers, the certification label does not contain the correct Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The label incorrectly indicates a GAWR of 2,359 kg (5,200 lbs). The actual value should be 2,304 kg (5,080 lbs) for vehicles with D range tires and 1,950 kg (4,299 lbs) for vehicles with C range tires. Loading the vehicle beyond the actual GAWR could result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will install updated labels.
