  • Brand FOREST RIVER

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2015 and 2016 Rockport vehicles (models RPAF1466N, RPAF14FX, and RPGSA92-12) manufactured between January 30, 2015, and February 24, 2015. These vehicles may have been built without a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), which violates federal safety requirements.

Without a functioning TPMS, drivers will not receive alerts if one or more tires becomes under-inflated. Under-inflated tires can fail, which increases the risk of a crash. To remedy this issue, General Motors (the chassis manufacturer) will notify owners, and GM dealers will install the correct TPMS hardware and software at no charge. The recall began on May 9, 2016. Affected consumers should contact Forest River at 1-574-295-1022 or GM customer service at 1-800-462-8782.
