What this recall means for you
The federal certification label on certain 2019 Wildwood recreational trailers lists an incorrect front tire pressure of 110 PSI. The correct pressure for the front, rear and spare tires is 80 PSI, so the trailers do not fully comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 on tire selection and rims.
Overinflating a tire can cause it to fail, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should not rely on the incorrect 110 PSI figure when setting tire pressure.
The manufacturer, Forest River, has notified owners and is providing a corrected Federal Placard at no cost. Contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-534-6127, extension 10917, and refer to recall number 69-0949. You can also check your vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
