Forest River Recalls 2015-2016 Rockport Vehicles for Missing Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Forest River is recalling specific 2015 and 2016 Rockport vehicles that may lack a tire pressure monitoring system, increasing the risk of tire failure and crashes.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 missing safety system (TPMS) that increases the risk of tire failure and crashes, fitting the 'High' severity criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 and 2016 Rockport vehicles, specifically models RPAF1466N, RPAF14FX, and RPGSA92-12, manufactured between January 30, 2015, and February 24, 2015. These vehicles may have been manufactured without a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which means they do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138.

The absence of a TPMS means drivers will not be alerted if one or more tires are under-inflated. Under-inflated tires can lead to tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text, but the hazard is identified as a safety compliance issue.

Because the chassis manufacturer is General Motors LLC (GM), GM will notify owners. GM dealers will install the correct hardware and software for the TPMS free of charge. The recall began on May 9, 2016. Owners can contact Forest River at 1-574-295-1022 or GM customer service at 1-800-462-8782 for more information.
