Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Forest River is recalling certain 2017-2018 Salem, Wildwood, XLR, Sanibel, Wildcat, Vengeance, Chaparral Lite, and Columbus recreational trailers because the Federal Placard attached to these vehicles contains incorrect information about tire and rim combinations, Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). This incorrect information could lead owners to install the wrong replacement tire or rim, overinflate tires, or overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners and provide a corrected Federal Placard at no charge. The recall began on May 17, 2017. Affected owners should contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-348-7440 and reference recall number 51-04242017-0393.
