Recall 18V334 affects 23 2019 Coachmen Clipper and Viking trailers with incorrect tire-pressure placards. Corrected placard is free from Coachmen.
Coachmen is recalling 23 2019 Clipper and Viking recreational trailers under recall 18V334 because the federal tire placard lists 65 PSI when the tires require 75 PSI. That label can lead owners to underinflate the tires, raising the risk of tire failure and a crash; the Coachmen dealer repair is free.

What's wrong?
The Federal Placard on a 2019 Coachmen Clipper or Viking trailer is the label that tells an owner and service shop the tire size, load information, and required cold tire pressure. That pressure matters because the tire is designed to carry the trailer's load only when it is inflated to the correct specification.
On affected trailers, the wrong tire pressure was selected for the placard before printing. The label says 65 PSI, but the tires require 75 PSI. An owner who follows the label would set the tires below the required pressure, leaving them underinflated for the trailer's actual tire, rim, and axle ratings. Coachmen's fix is a new Federal Placard with the correct PSI.
There is no warning sign before failure. The visible clue is the label itself: if the placard on the trailer lists 65 PSI for these tires, it conflicts with the required 75 PSI.
Who's affected?
The Clipper and Viking lines share the same vehicle-label component in this recall.

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 tire placard can lead the operator to underinflate the tires. Underinflation can lead to tire failure, which increases crash risk. Use the corrected placard before setting tire pressure, and schedule related service soon if the placard is missing. Repair is free at any franchised Coachmen dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Coachmen Clipper or Viking trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Coachmen dealer to get the corrected Federal Placard that lists the required 75 PSI tire pressure.
- Bring the recall notice if Coachmen sent one. If not, reference recall number 18V334 when you call.
- Keep the trailer tires inflated to 75 PSI per the corrected placard before towing.
- Call Coachmen customer service at 1-269-467-8281 with questions about the placard correction.
What happens at the repair
For this available remedy, Coachmen provides a corrected Federal Placard at no charge. The corrected placard replaces the label that listed 65 PSI when the trailer tires require 75 PSI. A Coachmen dealer or service desk can confirm that the corrected placard is installed and that the tire pressure information matches the recall remedy. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you already paid for a related placard correction, ask Coachmen customer service or the dealer how to submit documentation under the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan.
