Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2018 Prime Time Avenger motorhomes, model AVT31DBS. The recall addresses a defect in the Federal Placard located on these vehicles. The placard currently indicates that only the rear tires are ST225/75R15E with 80 PSI, whereas it should state that the front, rear, and spare tires are all ST225/75R15E with 80 PSI. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims," and 567, "Certification."
The incomplete information on the Federal Placard could cause users to install an incorrect tire. This error may result in the overloading of the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text, but the recall covers the specified model years and model.
Forest River will notify owners and provide a corrected Federal placard free of charge. The recall began on May 18, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for this recall is 50-04182017-0392.
