The vehicles incorrectly list the recommended tire air pressure
of ConsumerAffairs
Viking RV has issued two separate recalls for recreational trailers to correct tire pressure issues.
In the first, the company is recalling 261 model year 2014 Viking Epic 1906, Epic 1906ST, Epic 2107, Epic CWS8, and Epic CWS10, and Coachmen Sport 106, Sport 106ST, and Sport 107 recreational trailers, manufactured November 20, 2013, through May 28, 2014.
The affected vehicles incorrectly list the recommended tire air pressure as 65PSI instead of 60PSI on the Federal Certification Tag and Tire Information Tag.
If the tires are filled to the air pressure indicated on the current label, there is an increased risk of a tire blowout which may result in a crash.
Viking has notified owners, and has mailed owners corrected labels, free of charge. The recall began in June 2014.
In the second incident, Viking is recalling 57 model year 2014 Viking Epic 1706LS and Coachmen Sport 806LS recreational trailers manufactured January 16, 2014, through May 28, 2014.
These vehicles incorrectly list the recommended tire air pressure as 90PSI instead of 60PSI on the Federal Certification Tag and Tire Information Tag, posing the danger as listed above.
As in the previous recall, Viking has notified owners, and has mailed owners corrected labels, free of charge. This recall also began in June 2014.
In both instances, owners may contact Viking customer service at 1-800-368-2829.l
