Snow River is recalling 152 2013 trailers, including the 266RDS, because the federal identification, tire and axle, and trailer weight labels list incorrect information. Incorrect loading information can lead owners to load the trailer improperly, which can cause axle failure and increase crash risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The labels on these 2013 Snow River trailers are the factory tags that tell an owner and service shop how the trailer was built and loaded. The Federal Identification Tag, Tire and Axle Information Label, and Trailer Weight Information Label give the tire, rim, axle, and weight information used to select tires and set up the trailer for towing.
On the affected 266RDS, 295K, 285RLS, 295T, 29SB, and 235RLS trailers, those labels were printed with incorrect information. That means the trailer does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 120, the rule covering tire selection and rims for vehicles other than passenger cars.
The problem is not a part that wears out or breaks during use. There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is the printed information on the trailer labels, so the error is found by checking the labels against the recall repair instructions.
Who's affected?
Covers six 2013 trailer models, all tied to the same vehicle label issue.
| 2013 Snow River 266RDS | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2013 Artic Fox 295K | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| 2013 Fox Mountain 285RLS | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| 2013 Artic Fox 295T | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| 2013 Desert Fox 29SB | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| 2013 Fox Mountain 235RLS | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 152 |
A matching 2013 model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
An inaccurate label can give the wrong vehicle loading specifications. Loading the trailer from that label risks axle failure and increases the risk of a crash. Use the corrected label when loading the vehicle. Repair will be free at any franchised Snow River dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013 Snow River trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact Snow River customer service at 1-800-766-6274 if you never received the corrected replacement labels mailed for this recall.
- Request the corrected Federal Identification Tag, Tire and Axle Information Label, and Trailer Weight Information Label that fix the inaccurate loading information.
- Reference recall number 13V059 when you call or when you discuss the label replacement.
- Use the corrected labels before loading the trailer so axle and tire information matches the vehicle.
What happens at the repair
The remedy is corrected replacement labels, not a mechanical repair. Snow River mailed the corrected labels on March 22, 2013, free of charge. The labels replace the incorrect Federal Identification Tag, Tire and Axle Information Label, and Trailer Weight Information Label information. The source does not list a separate dealer repair process. If service handling is needed, a Snow River service technician can install the corrected labels, and the recall work is free once available through the service channel.
