What this recall means for you
Certain trailers may have wheel center caps that interfere with proper tightening of the wheel lug nuts. If the wheels are not fully tightened, they can loosen and separate from the trailer while it is moving, which raises the risk of a crash.
Owners should contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0588 and reference recall number 420-0537. Forest River will notify affected owners, and an authorized dealer will remove the plastic wheel center cap and install a different center cap at no cost.
