What's wrong?
The federal certification label and tire information label on the 2012-2013 Shasta Revere SHT27BH are the owner-facing weight labels for the trailer. They tell an owner and a service desk the gross vehicle weight rating and cargo carrying capacity, which are the limits used when loading the RV and setting tire pressure.
On affected SHT27BH recreational vehicles, those labels list incorrect GVWR and cargo carrying capacity information. The filing does not identify a separate broken mechanical part. The defect is the printed specification itself: it gives the wrong weight information on labels that owners rely on before loading the trailer.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should look at the labels rather than wait for a symptom, because a label error does not create a dashboard light, noise, or visible part failure.
Who's affected?
The 2012 and 2013 SHT27BH trailers are tied to the same vehicle label (placard or certification) issue.
| 2013 Shasta Revere SHT27BH | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2012 Shasta Revere SHT27BH | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 7 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect weight information can lead owners to overload the trailer. Overloading strains the axle and tires, raising the risk of axle or tire failure and a crash. Use the corrected weight label when loading, and avoid loading above the listed capacity. Repair will be free at any franchised Shasta Revere dealer once available.

- Replace the incorrect labels with the corrected labels so the GVWR and cargo capacity information match the trailer.
