What this recall means for you
The tire and wheel information label on these trailers lists the wrong wheel rim and tire size. If a tire and rim that does not match the correct specification is installed, the trailer may become unstable while being towed, which raises the risk of a crash.
Owners should contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-453-6064 to receive a corrected tire placard at no charge. Check that your trailer's tire and wheel size matches the correct specification, and make sure any replacement tire and rim you install conforms to it. You can also check your VIN for any other open recalls.
The repair is free at an authorized dealer, and Forest River will notify affected owners directly.
