Forest River Recalls 2018 Prime Time Fury Trailers for Incorrect Placards

Forest River is recalling 2018 Prime Time Fury recreational trailers because the Federal Placard lists incorrect tire and rim sizes, which could lead to the installation of wrong replacement tires.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a labeling error that could lead to incorrect tire installation and increased crash risk, but no injuries or deaths are reported, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2018 Prime Time Fury recreational trailers. The recall addresses an issue where the information on the Federal Placard may be incorrect. The placard states that the vehicle is equipped with ST235/80R16E tires and 16X6.0JJ rims, but the vehicles are actually equipped with ST225/75R15E tires and 15X6.0JJ rims. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims," and 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

The incorrect placards do not indicate the correct tire and rim combination. This error could lead to the installation of incorrect replacement tires, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install new corrected Federal Placards free of charge. The recall began on December 8, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for this recall is 48-0575. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
