Forest River Recalls 2018 Salem and Wildwood Trailers for Incorrect Tire Placards
Forest River is recalling 2018 Salem and Wildwood recreational trailers because the Federal Placard incorrectly lists the tire size, which could lead to the installation of wrong-sized 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 addresses a labeling error that could lead to the installation of incorrect tire sizes, potentially affecting vehicle handling. This fits the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling errors and theoretical risks where no injuries have been reported.
Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2018 Salem and Wildwood recreational trailers. The recall involves 133 vehicles where the Federal Placard incorrectly states that the trailers are equipped with ST215/75R15 Load Range D tires, while the installed tires are actually size ST205/75R15 Load Range D. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110 and 49 CFR Part 567.
The incorrect labeling poses a safety risk because it may cause the operator to install tires of the wrong size. If the wrong size tires are installed, vehicle handling may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners and provide corrected Federal Placards free of charge. The recall began on December 18, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-848-1335 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
