Forest River Safety Recall

Forest River, Inc. has recalled certain 2018 Surveyor travel trailer RVs with Federal Placards for the wrong tire and rim combination information.  According to Forest River, the Placards indicate ST225/75R15D Tires with 65 PSI and a rim designation of 15X6.0JJ, while the subject travel trailers actually have installed ST205/75R14C Tires with 50 PSI and a rim designation of 14X5.5JJ.

Forest River, Inc. admits that the incorrect Federal Placards could cause a consumer to over-inflate the tires, which may lead to premature tire degradation, a tire blowout, reduced handling, and potentially increase the risk of crash.   

According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (“NHTSA”), Forest River, Inc. has notified owners, and will provide a new Federal Placard with will indicate the correct tire, PSI, and rim combination.  

The NHTSA Campaign Number is 18V-222. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. To read more about the recall, click here
