TIRES
- The defect
- SMC Trailers is recalling certain 2019-2020 Laramie trailers. The Federal Placard indicates the incorrect tire PSI, which may result in the tires being overinflated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
- What it can cause
- Tires inflated to the limit provided on the label could fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- SMC Trailers will notify owners, and dealers will provide new placards with the correct PSI listed, free of charge. The recall began March 13, 2020. Owners may contact SMC Trailers customer service at 1-574-966-5598.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 35 vehicles this is a small campaign: 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by SMC Trailers with NHTSA on February 20, 2020 as campaign 20V096000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
