Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Cherokee recreational trailers, model ORCKT244JR-64. The recall involves 14 vehicles. The Federal Placard on these trailers contains incorrect tire and rim size information. It indicates ST205/75R15C tires with 50 PSI and a rim size of 15X5.5JJ, whereas the actual combination is ST205/75R14C tires with 50 PSI and a rim size of 14X5.5JJ. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
