PhotoTiny Idahomes is recalling 47 model year 2014-2017 Tiny Idahomes Clear Creek, Cascade, Sejour, Carpathian, Cargo Trailers; model year 2016 Tiny Idahomes Zamora Vardo; model year 2017 Tiny Idahomes Yala Peak, and Grand Teton; and model year 2017 Rugged Mountain Custom RVs models Clear Creek, Drive Stream, Chinook Peak, Mt. Hood, Castle Peak, and Lincoln Peak recreational vehicles.

The federal placard on the vehicles may indicate an incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).

As such, the vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

A label with an incorrect GVWR can cause confusion to the user and improper loading of the vehicle, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Tiny Idahomes/Rugged Mountain Custom RV will mail corrected labels. Owners can affix the corrected label themselves or, if they wish, may contact their dealer to have it replaced, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

Owners may contact Tiny Idahomes customer service at 1-208-468-0576.
