What this recall means for you
The tire and rim information on the Federal Placard in certain vehicles may be incorrect.

Because of this, an owner could install the wrong size replacement tires, which can increase the risk of a crash.
The manufacturer, Forest River, will notify owners and provide a corrected Federal Placard at no cost. Owners can contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432 and reference recall number 45-0509.
