  • Brand FOREST RIVER

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

What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2017-2018 Prime Time Avenger motorhomes, model AVT31DBS, because the Federal Placard on these vehicles contains incomplete tire information. The placard only specifies the rear tire size as ST225/75R15E tires with 80 PSI, but it should indicate that the front, rear, and spare tires are all ST225/75R15E tires with 80 PSI. This incomplete information could lead users to install incorrect tires, potentially overloading the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.

Forest River will notify owners and provide a corrected Federal placard at no cost. The recall began on May 18, 2017. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025 and reference the recall number 50-04182017-0392.
