NHTSA recall 18V334000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Coachmen Viking recreational trailers, models t17bhs and t17fqs. The federal placard states that the tires have an inflation pressure of 65 psi, when the tires actually require 75 psi. 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: The incorrect placard could cause the operator to underinflate the tires, possibly causing tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river has notified owners and provided a corrected federal placard, free of charge. The recall began May 31, 2018.
