Forest River is recalling 2020 Shasta SST240TH and SST260TH trailers because tires may contact the wheel well, risking tire failure and loss of control.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 structural vehicle defect (tire clearance) that poses a risk of crash and loss of control, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

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. The recall began on March 25, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-821-1311 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
