Transport Canada recalls

Suspension#2014003January 9, 2014
123 units affected
On certain model travel trailers, the tires may have inadequate clearance with the trailer floor and may be damaged when travelling over large bumps or pot holes if the trailer is loaded to the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). This could result in a blow out which could lead to a crash, resulting in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will install a lift kit between the frame and the axle mounting brackets to increase clearance between the tires and floor.
