The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 Palomino PaloMini vehicles manufactured between November 14, 2014, and July 23, 2015. The recall addresses a defect where the cambers in the axle tubes may have been installed upside down. This misalignment causes the tube to appear bent downward toward the ground, whereas the bend should point upwards toward the unit floor.
A mispositioned camber may come into contact with a tire, a spindle, or other components. This contact can lead to fracture or failure of the axle assembly, which increases the risk of a crash. The recall began on August 21, 2015.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reposition any mispositioned cambers free of charge. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-269-432-3246.
