What's wrong?
The Federal Certification Label and Tire Placard on 2015 Crossroads Zinger Z-1 and Cruiser trailers are the weight labels owners use before loading the trailer. The certification label lists the gross vehicle weight rating, or GVWR, which is the maximum loaded weight the trailer is certified to carry. The Tire Placard uses that rating to show Cargo Carrying Capacity, or CCC, so owners know how much cargo belongs in the trailer.
On these trailers, the GVWR printed on the label is too high. Crossroads reported the rating is overstated by 2,000 lbs. on Cruiser models and 1,600 lbs. on Zinger Z-1 models. Because the GVWR is wrong, the CCC on the Tire Placard is wrong too. An owner loading by that label can put more cargo in the trailer than it was certified to carry under federal labeling rules 110 and 567.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is the printed information, so the trailer does not give a dashboard light, noise, or handling clue that the label is wrong.
Who's affected?
The Zinger Z-1 and Cruiser share the same vehicle-label component issue for this campaign.
| 2015 Crossroads Zinger Z-1 | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2015 Crossroads Cruiser | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 136 |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect GVWR information can lead an owner to overload the trailer. Overloading can cause sudden tire, axle, or suspension failure, increasing the risk of loss of control and a crash. Confirm the corrected weight labels before loading. Repair will be free at any franchised Crossroads dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Crossroads Zinger Z-1 or Cruiser is included in this recall.
- Contact Crossroads customer service at 1-855-226-7496 if you never received the corrected Federal Certification, Tire Placard, and CCC labels.
- Install the corrected labels using the Crossroads instructions so the trailer shows the proper GVWR and cargo carrying capacity.
- Reference recall number 14V603 when you call Crossroads or discuss the label correction.
- Avoid loading the trailer by the overstated label values until the corrected labels are installed.
What happens at the repair
Crossroads' remedy is a label correction rather than a mechanical repair. Crossroads sends corrected Federal Certification, Tire Placard, and CCC labels with installation instructions, free of charge. The corrected labels replace the overstated GVWR and cargo carrying capacity information on the trailer. If a dealer visit is needed for help with placement, ask a Crossroads service representative to confirm where each label goes before installation. The dealer repair or label correction is free once available.
