Forest River is recalling 230 model year 2017 Cherokee recreational trailers, models CCKT16BHS, CCKT16FQ and CCKT17CJ, manufactured April 15, 2016, to July 28, 2016.
The vehicles may have insufficient clearance between the bottom of the trailer and the top of the tire and, during use, the tire may make contact, possibly damaging the tire.
A damaged tire may unexpectedly deflate, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a bolt on lift kit, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 26, 2016.
Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-593-4005. Forest River's number for this recall is 17C-07292016-0234.
