What's wrong?
The Federal Certification Tag and Tire Information Tag on a 2014 Viking Epic or Sport trailer are supposed to tell an owner and service shop the correct tire inflation pressure. That pressure matters because trailer tires carry load differently than passenger-car tires, and the tag is the quick reference used before a trip or during service.
On affected trailers, those tags list the recommended tire air pressure as 65PSI when the correct value is 60PSI. The tire itself is not described as defective in this recall. The problem is the printed instruction, which points owners toward overinflating the tires instead of setting them to the intended pressure.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is unlikely to notice the label error from the way the trailer tows, so the key clue is the number printed on the Federal Certification Tag or Tire Information Tag.
Who's affected?
Certification label and tire items apply to both the Epic and Sport trailers.

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?
Using the air pressure printed on the current label raises the risk of a tire blowout, which can lead to a crash. Check the corrected label before setting tire pressure, and contact the dealer or Viking customer service if the label on the trailer has not been replaced. Repair will be free at any franchised Viking dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Viking Epic or Coachmen Sport recreational trailer is included in this recall.
- Watch for Viking's corrected tire-pressure and certification labels if you have not received them.
- Call Viking customer service at 1-800-368-2829 if the corrected labels are missing, and reference recall number 14V424.
- Install the corrected labels that change the recommended tire pressure from 65PSI to 60PSI.
- Use the corrected tire-pressure label before inflating the trailer tires.
What happens at the repair
The known repair path for recall 14V424 is label replacement, not a mechanical repair. Viking notified owners and mailed corrected Federal Certification and Tire Information labels at no charge after the recall began in June 2014. The corrected labels show the recommended tire pressure as 60 PSI instead of 65 PSI. If your 2014 Epic or Sport trailer still has the old label, ask Viking customer service about getting the corrected label and confirm where it should be installed. Parts and label handling are free under the recall once Viking confirms your trailer is included.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 14V424?
Recall 14V424 covers 261 2014 Viking Epic and Sport recreational trailers with tire and certification labels that list 65 PSI instead of 60 PSI. Inflating the tires to the incorrect label pressure increases tire blowout risk. Viking mailed corrected labels free of charge.
What should I do if my 2014 Viking Epic or Sport is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 14V424. If it is, verify that the corrected tire and certification labels are installed and that the recommended tire pressure reads 60 PSI. For help, call Viking customer service at 1-800-368-2829.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to fix the defect at no cost. For recall 14V424, Viking mailed corrected tire and certification labels free of charge, so owners do not pay for the corrected labels.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is tire blowout from using the wrong label pressure. The affected labels state 65 PSI instead of 60 PSI. If the tires are inflated to the pressure on the incorrect label, blowout risk increases, which raises crash risk.
What if I bought the trailer used?
The recall still applies to the trailer, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your 2014 Viking Epic or Sport is included. If the corrected labels are missing or still show 65 PSI, contact Viking customer service at 1-800-368-2829.
