The federal placard on the vehicles contains incorrect tire information
January 15, 2018Forest River is recalling 133 model year 2018 Salem and Wildwood recreational trailers.
The federal placard on the vehicles incorrectly states that the trailers are equipped with ST215/75R15 Load Range D tires; however, the installed tires are size ST205/75R15 Load Range D.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims," and these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
If the operator installs tires of the wrong size, vehicle handling may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Forest River will notify owners and provide corrected federal placards, free of charge.
The recall began on December 18, 2017.
