Why it matters: The operator may over-inflate the tire based on the information printed on the federal placard. Overinflating a tire may lead to pre-mature tire degradation, a tire blowout, or reduced handling, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners and dealers and will provide a corrected federal placard, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2016.
