Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) are understated on the certification label,
affecting how well the trailer may be towed. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire selection and Rims" and 49 CFR part 567,
"Certification." There is a risk that the trailer may exceed the towing capacity of the tow vehicle, increasing the
risk of a vehicle crash. Xtreme will notify owners, and dealers will send new certification labels for all trailers
affected by this recall, free of charge. Unsold units that are outside Xtreme Outdoors control will also be issued
new paperwork with the correct information. The recall is expected to begin September 2020. Owners may
contact Xtreme customer service at 1-888-469-9688.
