2018 FOREST RIVER PUMA
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2018 Puma recreational trailers because the Federal Placards on these vehicles display incorrect tire information. The placards indicate tires should be size ST205/75R15/D requiring 50 PSI, but the trailers are actually equipped with ST205/75R15/C tires that require 65 PSI. This discrepancy means operators could over-inflate the tires based on the placard instructions, leading to premature tire failure and an increased risk of crashes.
To remedy the issue, Forest River will notify owners and authorize dealers to install corrected Federal Placards at no charge. The recall began on December 4, 2017. Affected owners should contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-642-0588 and reference recall number 425-0560.
