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.

Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2019 Cherokee recreational trailers. The Federal Placards on these vehicles indicate incorrect tire size information of ST205/75R15, while the vehicles are actually equipped with ST225/755R15 tires. 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 information may cause an operator to install a tire that is insufficient for the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.
Forest River has notified owners and sent them a new Federal Placard with correct tire size information, free of charge. The recall began on February 25, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-541-644-8072, extension 4022, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
