NHTSA Service Bulletin 10222196: 2022 Oliver Travel Trailers Legacy Elite
Official manufacturer communication context for 2022 Oliver Travel Trailers Legacy Elite, with affected products, buyer checks and links into Carchieve recall, problem and VIN research.
Reviewed June 2026 from NHTSA manufacturer communication and service bulletin records. Carchieve is independent and not affiliated with any vehicle manufacturer or government agency.
Oliver Travel Trailers has been made aware that the balance beads used inside the tires, Cooper Discover LT235/65R/16C mounted by Lionshead Tire and Wheel and installed on Oliver Travel Trailers manufactured after 6-Dec-22 may not be compatible with the valve core. Tires may deflate due to the incompatible balance bead engaged in valve core. The result should a balance bead lodge in the valve core when the tire pressure is being checked, the valve core will not seal, and all the air pressure will exhaust from the tire. Oliver Travel Trailers recommends: 1) Enclosed valve cores are provided that are compatible with the balance beads inside the tire and a $25 Visa card to cover service expenses. 2) Take the trailer to a tire service center and have all valve cores replaced, including the spare, with the valve cores provided. 3) Ensure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure (recommendation is 55psi). Oliver Travel Trailers Technical Support may be contacted 888-526-3978.
