VIKING RV IS RECALLING 141 MY 2008 EPIC (MODEL 2108ST) AND SPORT (MODEL 108ST) CAMPING TRAILERS FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, 'TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES." THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE CERTIFICATION AND TIRE INFORMATION LABELS DENOTING THE TIRE SIZE AND PRESSURE IS INCORRECT.

Consequence & remedy

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CERTIFICATION AND TIRE INFORMATION LABELS WITH THE CORRECT LABELS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 13, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT VIKING RV AT 1-800-368-2829.
