Details

What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Stealth Evo recreational trailers, model sjt2850-ca. The federal placard on these vehicles indicate a tire size of st205/75r15 load range e, when the tires installed on the vehicle are st225/75r15 load range e. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 110, "tire selection and rims,"…

Why it matters: If the placard indicates the wrong tire information, the owner could install incorrect replacement tires, resulting in premature tire wear or failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Forest river has notified owners, and dealers will install a corrected federal placard with correct tire and rim information, free of charge. The recall began on March 15, 2018.
