Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where tire failure could increase the risk of a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Salem and Wildwood T174BH recreational vehicles manufactured between September 18, 2013, and August 29, 2014. The affected vehicles may have an incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) on the certification and tire information labels, meaning they do not conform to federal certification regulations.

If a trailer is loaded to the specifications listed on the incorrect label, tire failure may result, which increases the risk of a crash. The recall began on November 11, 2014.

Forest River will notify owners and provide corrected labels free of charge. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-353-7383 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
