Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2024 model year travel trailers, including the Rainier, Stealth Evo, Salem, Vibe, and Wildwood. The issue involves the suspension system's shackles and equalizers, which provide insufficient clearance between the tires and the vehicle body.

Due to this insufficient clearance, the tire may contact the vehicle body during operation. This contact can cause tire damage.

A damaged tire can fail, which may result in loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.

Owners should take their vehicle to a Forest River authorized dealer to have taller shackles and equalizers installed free of charge. For more information, owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-503-831-5410 or visit www.safercar.gov.
