NHTSA recall 15V741000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 Surveyor recreational trailers, models svt243rbs and orsvt243rbs. The affected vehicles have federal certification placards that list an incorrect tire and rim size from what is actually installed on the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."
Why it matters: If the operator installs tires that are the size that is indicated on the placard, it can cause poor vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners and mail them a corrected federal placard label, free of charge. The recall began on December 2, 2015.
