2014 Vibe VCT6501-VCT6506 Recall 14V190: Weight Label Error

Recall 14V190 covers 164 2014 Vibe VCT6501-VCT6506 travel trailers with incorrect tire and axle labels. Vibe sends corrected labels for free.

Vibe is recalling 164 2014 VCT6501, VCT6502, VCT6503, VCT6504, VCT6505, and VCT6506 travel trailers because the federal certification label lists incorrect tire and gross axle weight rating information. A wrong label can lead an owner to overload the trailer, raising the risk of tire failure and a crash; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The federal certification label on these 2014 Vibe VCT6501, VCT6502, VCT6503, VCT6504, VCT6505, and VCT6506 travel trailers is the permanent sticker that lists the trailer's tire information and gross axle weight rating. That label tells an owner, tire shop, or service desk what tires belong on the trailer and how much load each axle is rated to carry.

On affected trailers, the label lists incorrect tire and gross axle weight rating information. The trailer itself is not described as having a broken axle or tire defect in recall 14V190. The problem is that the printed information can lead an owner or shop to choose the wrong tires or misunderstand the trailer's rated axle capacity.

There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is found by checking the certification label against the corrected recall information, not by waiting for a light, sound, or change in how the trailer tows.

Who's affected?

Covers six Vibe trailer variants in one model year, all tied to the vehicle label.

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?

Wrong weight and tire information can lead an owner to load the recreational vehicle beyond its limits. Overloading strains the tires, raises the chance of tire failure, and increases crash risk. Confirm the label details before loading or towing, and schedule the label replacement. Repair will be free at any franchised Vibe dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Vibe VCT6501, VCT6502, VCT6503, VCT6504, VCT6506, or VCT6505 trailer is included in this recall.
  2. Check your mail for the free replacement Federal Certification and Tire Information labels from Vibe.
  3. Call Vibe customer service at 1-260-593-0023 if the labels did not arrive, and reference recall number 14V190.
  4. Install the replacement labels so the tire and gross axle weight ratings match the trailer.
  5. Avoid loading the trailer from the old label information until the corrected labels are installed.

What happens at the repair

The known remedy is a label replacement, not a mechanical repair. Vibe sends owners replacement Federal Certification and Tire Information labels with the corrected tire and gross axle weight rating information. The source remedy says the recall began on June 9, 2014, and the replacement labels are supplied free of charge. If your VIN is included and you have not received the corrected labels, contact Vibe customer service and ask for the 14V190 certification label recall package.
