NHTSA recall 16V258000
Equipment, Tires · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Cardinal recreational vehicles, models caf3455rl, caf3825fl and caf3850rl, manufactured from November 20, 2015, through April 1, 2016. These vehicles may be equipped with a federal placard that indicates an incorrect tire and rim combination. The placard states the tire and rim combination is st235/80r16 lre tires with 80 psi and a rim…
Why it matters: If the operator inflates the tires to the psi indicated on the label, the tires will be operated while being under-inflated causing pre-mature wear and a possible tire blow out, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and provide a new corrected federal placard, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on, or about, June 23, 2016.
