Vanguard recall: Tires

What is wrong

Vanguard National Trailer Corporation (Vanguard) is recalling all 2023-2024 trailer models built after November 2022 and equipped with a SAF Holland Tire Pilot Plus (TPP) tire inflation system. The TPP electronic controller may open the check valves, causing the tires to deflate.

What could happen

A loss of tire pressure while driving can lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Vanguard will work with equipment manufacturer to replace and reactivate the Tire Pilot Plus system, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 8, 2024. Owners may contact Vanguard customer service at 1-888-253-3008.
