Recall 22V534 covers 26 2021-2022 Towmaster TC-14D, TC-24, and T-24 trailers with under-rated tires. Repair is free at any franchised Towmaster dealer.
Towmaster is recalling 26 2021-2022 TC-14D, TC-24, and T-24 trailers because the installed tires have an E load rating instead of the required F rating. Tires with the lower rating can be overloaded, which can result in tire failure and increase crash risk; Towmaster dealers will complete the repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The tire and wheel assembly on 2021-2022 Towmaster TC-14D, TC-24, and T-24 trailers carries the trailer's load and keeps that load supported at road speed. The installed Cooper Discoverer HT3 tires are 235/85R16 tires with load range E ratings. For these trailers, the tire rating needs to match the trailer's capacity so the tires are not asked to carry more weight than they are designed to handle.
On affected trailers, Towmaster approved a supplier substitution that put load range E tires where at least load range F tires were required. The problem is not the tire size itself. It is the load rating. On higher capacity trailer setups, the E rated tire is under-rated for the work the trailer is built to do, which lets heat and wear build faster during use.
What you notice before failure is abnormal tire wear or tire overheating. Check the tread and sidewalls before towing, and pay attention to tires that feel unusually hot after a trip. Those signs mean the tires are being stressed beyond the rating Towmaster specified for the trailer.

What's the safety risk?
Overloaded tires can fail and increase the risk of a crash. Abnormal tire wear or tire overheating are warning signs, so slow down, avoid carrying extra load, and schedule the tire replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised Towmaster dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2022 Towmaster TC-14D, TC-24, or T-24 trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Towmaster dealer to schedule the free tire replacement that corrects the under-rated tire load capacity.
- Bring the recall notice if Towmaster mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V534 when you call.
- Avoid loading the trailer near its rated capacity until the F-rated tires are installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Towmaster technician replaces the affected tires with tires that match the trailer's required load rating. Parts and labor are covered under recall 22V534, and the recall repair is available now. This addresses the installed E rated tires, which were below the trailer capacity rating and should have been F rated. Towmaster also has a general reimbursement plan on file. If you already paid for this tire replacement before the recall repair, ask Towmaster customer service or the dealer how to submit repair documentation under that plan.
