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 2020 Shasta SST240TH and SST260TH trailers. The recall involves 38 units where the tires may have insufficient clearance inside the wheel well. This lack of clearance allows the tire to contact the inside of the wheel well, which can possibly result in tire failure.
Tire failure can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the equalizers with ones that are 2 inches taller and replace any tires that have evidence of damage, free of charge.
