What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2011 model year Surveyor travel trailers, Crusader fifth wheel trailers, Rance aluminum cargo trailers, and Work and Play toy hauler trailers equipped with 15" X 6" white spoke or modular design steel wheels with a six-hole bolt pattern. These wheels may have inadequate weld penetration between the outer ring and center plate due to improper plate alignment, which could potentially lead to wheel failure and wheel loss.

A wheel failure or loss could increase the risk of a crash or personal injury. Dealers will inspect and repair the affected wheels free of charge. The recall began on January 14, 2011. Owners of affected trailers should contact Forest River at 574-389-4600.
