What's wrong?
The federal certification label and tire information label on a 2010-2011 Stealth CFSFSA3516, CFSFCR3716, or CFSTFSC2812 trailer are the owner-facing loading reference. They list the gross vehicle weight rating, which is the maximum loaded trailer weight, and the cargo carrying capacity, which tells you how much weight the trailer is rated to carry after its own weight is accounted for.
On affected trailers, those label values are incorrect. The trailer itself is not described as having a broken mechanical part in this recall. The defect is the printed information: the GVWR and cargo carrying capacity on the federal certification label and tire information label do not match the required certification information.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is not something you hear, smell, or feel while towing. The way to catch it is by checking whether your specific trailer is included and having the labels corrected.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
When the weight label is wrong, the trailer can be loaded beyond its rated limit. Overloading puts extra stress on the axle and tires. Axle or tire failure increases the risk of a crash. Use the corrected label before loading near the limit. Repair will be free at any franchised Stealth dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2011 Stealth CFSFSA3516, CFSFCR3716, or CFSTFSC2812 trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Stealth dealer and ask whether the corrected certification and tire-information labels are ready for your VIN.
- Schedule the free label replacement that corrects the trailer weight and cargo-capacity information.
- Bring the recall notice if Stealth mailed one. If not, reference recall number 12V227 when you call.
- Avoid loading the trailer by the old label information until the corrected labels are installed.
What happens at the repair
For this label recall, the dealer repair is to remove the incorrect federal certification label and tire information label, then install corrected labels with the right GVWR and cargo carrying capacity information.
