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 (tire failure leading to crash) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 XLR ToyHauler trailers, specifically model XLT26HFS. The recall addresses a defect where the Federal Placard incorrectly states that the rear tire pressure should be 50psi, whereas the tires should actually be inflated to 80psi. This error causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

The incorrect information may cause the operator to underinflate the tires, potentially causing tire failure and increasing the risk of a crash. The recall began on May 31, 2017.
