What's wrong?
The Federal Information label on a 2016 Pacific Coachworks Rage'N toy hauler is the weight label that tells an owner how much cargo the trailer is built to carry. That cargo carrying capacity matters because gear, water, tools, and motorcycles add weight quickly. The label is supposed to give the owner a clear loading limit before a trip.
On the recalled Rage'N trailers, Pacific Coachworks posted an incorrect cargo carrying capacity value on the label. If that value is too high, an owner can load the toy hauler beyond its proper capacity while believing the trailer is still within the limit. Overloading puts extra stress on the trailer, wheels, rims, and tires, which is the safety issue behind campaign 16V289.
There is no warning sign before failure. This is a label problem, so the trailer does not give a separate light, sound, or driving symptom that proves the printed cargo limit is wrong.

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?
An incorrect cargo carrying capacity label can lead an owner to overload the vehicle. Overloading puts extra stress on the tires, which can cause tire failure and increase the risk of a crash. Use the corrected label to load the vehicle within its rated capacity. Repair is free at any franchised Pacific Coachworks dealer.
What should I do?

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Pacific Coachworks technician issues a corrected Federal Information Tag for the 2016 Rage'N and updates the cargo carrying capacity information shown on the label. The corrected tag replaces the incorrect CCC value that led to the overload compliance problem. The recall work is free of charge, and the dealer handles the tag correction under campaign 16V289.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 16V289?
Recall 16V289 covers 135 2016 Pacific Coachworks Rage'N toy haulers, model 27FBX, with an incorrect Cargo Carrying Capacity value on the Federal Information label. If the trailer is loaded to that incorrect value, it can be overloaded, causing tire failure and increasing crash risk.
What should I do if my 2016 Pacific Coachworks Rage'N is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific toy hauler is included in recall 16V289. If it is, contact a franchised Pacific Coachworks dealer or Pacific Coachworks customer service at 1-951-686-7294 to get the corrected Federal Information Tag. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Pacific Coachworks will provide the corrected Federal Information Tag with the right Cargo Carrying Capacity information free of charge. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to provide the recall remedy at no cost for included vehicles.
What is the safety risk?
The risk is overloading the trailer because the label lists the wrong Cargo Carrying Capacity. If the trailer is loaded beyond its correct capacity, the extra weight can cause tire failure and increase crash risk. Use the corrected label value once the dealer provides it.
What if I bought this Rage'N toy hauler used?
The free recall remedy still applies. Recall coverage follows the vehicle, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your 2016 Pacific Coachworks Rage'N is included, then reference recall 16V289 when you call the dealer or Pacific Coachworks customer service.
