Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2017 Surveyor recreational trailers, model SVT226RLDS, manufactured between October 9, 2015, and March 16, 2016. The recall addresses a defect where the vehicles may be equipped with tires and rims that do not match the information listed on the Federal Placard. This discrepancy causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
The mismatched information may lead operators to over-inflate the tires based on the incorrect data printed on the Federal Placard. Over-inflation can result in sudden tire failure, which may cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners and provide them with a corrected Federal Placard free of charge. The recall began on September 30, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-3119 extension 205. Forest River's number for this recall is 37-09082016-0242. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
