What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Cherokee recreational trailers, model ORCKT244JR-64, because the Federal Placard displays incorrect tire and rim size information. The placard indicates ST205/75R15C tires with a 15X5.5JJ rim size, when the vehicles actually require ST205/75C tires with a 14X5.5JJ rim size. Using the wrong tire size could increase the risk of a crash.

To remedy this issue, Forest River will notify owners and authorized dealers will install a corrected Federal Placard at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Forest River customer service at 1-541-995-3447 to report their vehicle and arrange for the corrected placard installation. Forest River's recall number is 64-03082017-0339.
