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 where tire failure could increase the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2019 Coachmen Clipper and Viking recreational trailers, specifically models T17BHS and T17FQS. The recall involves 23 vehicles.

The Federal Placard on these vehicles incorrectly states that the tires require an inflation pressure of 65 PSI, when they actually require 75 PSI. This error causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims." If operators rely on the incorrect placard, they may underinflate the tires, which could cause tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Forest River began the recall on May 31, 2018, and has notified owners. The company will provide a corrected Federal Placard free of charge. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-269-467-8281. Forest River's number for this recall is 121-0734.
