- Problem
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Prime Time Fury recreational trailers. The information on the Federal Placard may be incorrect, stating that the vehicle is equipped with ST235/80R16E tires and 16X6.0JJ rims, however, the vehicle is actually equipped with ST225/75R15E tires and 15X6.0JJ rims. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims," and 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
- Risk
- The placards do not indicate the correct tire/rim combination which could lead to the installation of incorrect replacement tires, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install new corrected Federal Placards, free of charge. The recall began on December 8, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for this recall is 48-0575.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
The certification placard on certain 2018 Prime Time Fury trailers may list the wrong tire and rim sizes. The placard states the trailer uses ST235/80R16E tires on 16x6.0JJ rims, but the trailer is actually equipped with ST225/75R15E tires on 15x6.0JJ rims. The trailer also does not fully meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 for tire selection and rims.
Because the placard shows the wrong tire and rim combination, an owner could install incorrect replacement tires. That mismatch could increase the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install new, corrected Federal Placards free of charge. Owners can contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025 and reference recall number 48-0575. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
