Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2018 Palomino recreational trailers, model PAT251RBSS. The recall involves 9 vehicles. The Federal Placard on these vehicles does not list the correct tire size, tire pressure, and rim size information for ST205/75R14C tires, which require 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."
The incorrect information may cause the operator to install an incorrect replacement rim or tire or overinflate the tire. These scenarios may increase the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners and provide a corrected Federal placard free of charge. The recall began on May 31, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-269-432-3271. Forest River's number for this recall is 400-05102017-0407. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
