What's wrong?

The certification label on a 2008-2011 Rockwood Travel Trailer is the permanent label that lists key vehicle information for owners, dealers, and tire-service shops. For this recall, the important part is the tire inflation pressure printed on that label. That pressure tells you how the trailer tires should be set before towing.

On affected trailers, the label shows incorrect tire inflation pressures. The tires themselves are not identified as the recalled part; the problem is the information used to set them. If an owner follows the wrong label pressure, the trailer is not being maintained to the value Rockwood intended for that configuration.

There is no warning sign before failure. The defect is printed information on the certification label, so the trailer will not give a light, sound, or handling change that tells you the label pressure is wrong.

Who's affected?

Spans five travel trailer lines across the 2008 through 2011 model years, all tied to the same vehicle label.

A matching model year and travel trailer line does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.

What's the safety risk?

Incorrect tire pressure information on the certification and tire labels can lead an owner or service shop to overinflate the tires. Overinflation can cause sudden tire failure and increase crash risk. Check tire pressure against corrected Rockwood guidance before travel and schedule the label replacement. Repair will be free at any franchised Rockwood dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2011 Rockwood Travel Trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Wait for Rockwood's recall notice if you have not received it, then request the corrected replacement label at no charge.
  3. Call Rockwood at 1-574-534-3167 and reference recall number 13V540 when requesting the corrected tire inflation label.
  4. Avoid inflating the tires from the old certification label until the corrected label is installed.

What happens at the repair

Rockwood provides a corrected replacement Vehicle Certification Label at no charge. The label corrects the tire inflation pressure shown on the trailer certification label. Once the remedy is available for your VIN, the dealer or Rockwood service contact gives you the corrected label and tells you where it belongs on the trailer. Parts and labor are covered under the recall.
