Recall 14V823 affects 159 2015 Vibe VBT272BHS travel trailers with incorrect tire and pressure labels. Correct labels are free from Vibe.
Vibe is recalling 159 2015 VBT272BHS travel trailers because the federal certification and tire labels list the wrong tire size and pressure. If an owner replaces the installed tires with the lower-rated tires shown on the label, the tires can be overloaded and blow out, which increases the risk of a crash; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The tire and Federal Certification labels on the 2015 Vibe VBT272BHS travel trailer tell an owner or tire shop what tire size, load rating, and air pressure belong on the trailer. Those labels are supposed to match the tires mounted on the trailer, so replacement tires are chosen with the correct load-carrying capacity.
On affected trailers, the label information was typed incorrectly. The label lists ST225/75R15/C tires inflated to 50 PSI, but the trailer was built with ST225/75R15/D tires inflated to 65 PSI. That difference matters because the D-rated tire carries more load at the higher pressure than the C-rated tire shown on the label.
The warning sign is the mismatch between the label and the tire sidewall. If a tire is replaced using the incorrect label information, the replacement tire can be overloaded and blow out.

| Units affected | 159 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
The wrong tire information on the label can lead an owner or shop to install tires that are not rated for the trailer's load. An overloaded replacement tire can blow out and increase the risk of a crash. Before replacing tires, confirm the correct tire specification with the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Vibe dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Vibe VBT272BHS travel trailer is included in this recall.
- Watch for Vibe's owner notice or corrected tire-label instructions before replacing the Federal Certification and Tire labels.
- Contact a franchised Vibe dealer to ask about the free corrected tire-information labels, and reference recall number 14V823 when you call.
- Keep tire replacement decisions tied to the tires actually installed on the trailer, not the incorrect label, until the corrected labels are in place.
- Bring the recall notice to the dealer if Vibe has mailed one.
What happens at the repair
The final dealer remedy is still listed as under development, so do not assume a dealer appointment is open for this recall yet. Once the remedy is available, a Vibe technician replaces the incorrect Federal Certification and Tire labels with labels showing the correct ST225/75R15/D tire size and 65 PSI pressure. The corrected labels are provided free of charge, and parts and labor are covered under the recall.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 14V823?
Recall 14V823 covers 159 2015 Vibe VBT272BHS travel trailers with incorrect tire size and tire pressure information on the certification and tire labels. The installed tires are ST225/75R15/D at 65 PSI, but the labels list ST225/75R15/C at 50 PSI. Corrected labels are free.
What should I do if my 2015 Vibe VBT272BHS is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 14V823. If it is, contact a franchised Vibe dealer or Vibe customer service at 1-206-593-4005 and ask for the corrected tire and certification labels. Reference recall number 59-12232014 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to correct safety recall defects at no cost, and the corrected Vibe tire and certification labels are free. The recall began on January 19, 2015, so ask the dealer or customer service for the corrected labels if your VIN is included.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk comes from replacing tires based on the wrong label. If the trailer receives ST225/75R15/C tires inflated to 50 PSI instead of the correct ST225/75R15/D tires inflated to 65 PSI, the tires can be insufficient for the load, which can lead to a blowout and increase crash risk.
