What this recall means for you

Certain 2020 Forest River Shockwave Toyhauler trailers have an incorrect Federal Placard, the label that lists the correct tire pressure. The wrong pressure information means these trailers do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 for tire selection and rims.

Running tires at the wrong pressure can cause a loss of vehicle control or premature tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash.
