What this means for you
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 (vehicle instability/crash risk) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical hazards without confirmed incidents.
Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016 Salem recreational trailers manufactured between June 2, 2015, and October 6, 2015, and 2015 Wildwood recreational trailers manufactured between June 3, 2015, and October 1, 2015. The recall involves a defect where the tire and wheel placard incorrectly states the wheel rim and tire size. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the certification requirements of 49 CFR Part 567.
If an incorrect tire and rim are installed based on the faulty placard information, the vehicle may experience instability when towing, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text, but the potential for harm exists if the error is not corrected.
Forest River will notify owners and provide a corrected tire placard free of charge. The recall began on October 26, 2015. Owners can contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-453-6064 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
