TIRES
- The defect
- 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."
- What it can cause
- The tires may become overloaded, which can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the affected tires, free of charge. Owners may contact Monroe Towmaster's customer service at 1-320-593-4542.
- 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.nhtsa.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 26 vehicles this is a small campaign: 84% 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 2021 to 2022, 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 Monroe Towmaster,LLC with NHTSA on July 22, 2022 as campaign 22V534000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
