Details

What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016 Salem recreational trailers manufactured June 2, 2015, to October 6, 2015 and 2015 Wildwood recreational trailers manufactured June 3, 2015, to October 1, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the tire and wheel placard incorrectly states the wheel rim and tire size. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567,…

Why it matters: If the incorrect tire and rim is installed, there may be instability of the vehicle when towing, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Forest river will notify owners and will provide a corrected tire placard, free of charge. The recall began on October 26, 2015.
