Defect description

TAP Worldwide, LLC (TAP) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Smittybilt SCOUT trailer kits, sold with tires and wheels included in the kit (SKU number 87400). These trailer kits were sold without the required labeling for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), and cargo capacity statements. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

Safety risk

The missing labels can result in the user overloading the trailer causing a loss of control, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

TAP will notify owners and will provide the missing labels, free of charge. The recall began December 3, 2018. Owners may contact TAP customer service at 1-888-376-1417.
