Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 Flagstaff, Rockwood, Cherokee, Salem, and Surveyor travel trailers. The recall involves specific model numbers for each brand, including the Flagstaff FLT831KRSS and Rockwood RLT8319SS.

The defect is that these vehicles contain incorrect tire inflation pressures on the Vehicle Certification Label. This non-compliance with federal certification requirements means the incorrect tire pressure information on the Federal Certification Tag and Tire Information Tag may lead to the tire being overinflated. Overinflation can result in sudden tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash.

Forest River will notify owners and provide a corrected replacement label free of charge. The recall began on November 25, 2013. Owners may contact Forest River at 1-574-534-3167 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
