NHTSA recall 17V699000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Puma recreational trailers. The federal placards indicate incorrect tire load range and tire pressure (psi) information. The placard states a tire size of st205/75r15/d requiring 50psi, however the installed tires are size st205/75r15/c, requiring 65psi. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard…
Why it matters: The incorrect tire information can cause the operator to over-inflate the tires, which can cause premature tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected federal placard, free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2017.
