What's wrong?
The tires on the 2019 Eclipse Attitude recreational trailer carry the trailer's weight and help keep the trailer stable as it rolls, turns, and brakes. Each tire has a load range, which is the weight rating the tire is built to carry when inflated and used as specified. For this trailer, that rating matters because the tires carry the trailer body, cargo, and road forces through the wheels.
On affected Attitude trailers, Eclipse called out and installed ST225/75/R15 LOAD RANGE D tires where ST225/75/R15 LOAD RANGE E tires are the correct replacement. The lower load range means the tire is rated for less weight than the trailer requires. That can overload the tire during normal use, especially when the trailer is loaded, and Eclipse is replacing the tires and rims on included units.
There is no warning sign before failure. A tire can look usable from the outside while still being under-rated for the load it is carrying, so the VIN and recall repair path matter more than a visual check.

What's the safety risk?
Incorrect tire load ratings can overload the tires. An overloaded tire can fail and increase the risk of a crash. Avoid carrying loads near the vehicle's rated limit until the correct tires are installed, and schedule the tire replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised Eclipse dealer.
What should I do?

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Eclipse technician replaces the incorrectly rated tires with tires that match the required load rating for the trailer. The replacement tires and labor are free under the recall. Eclipse has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid out of pocket for this tire repair before the recall work. Keep any paid invoices or service paperwork and ask Eclipse customer service or the dealer how to submit documentation.
