2021–2022 Towmaster T-24, Towmaster TC-14D, Towmaster TC-24: Tires recall

What's wrong

Monroe Towmaster, LLC (Monroe Towmaster) is recalling certain 2021-2022 TC-14D, T-24, and TC-24 trailers. The tire load rating on the installed tires is less than the capacity rating of the trailer. Tires installed onto trailers were "E" rated instead of the required "F" rating. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 109, "New Pneumatic and certain specialty tires," and number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires-Other Than Passenger Cars."

Why it matters

The tires may become overloaded, which can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace the affected tires, free of charge. Owners may contact Monroe Towmaster's customer service at 1-320-593-4542.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
