2018 FOREST RIVER STEALTH EVO

  • Brand FOREST RIVER

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

What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2018 Stealth Evo recreational trailers, model SJT2850-CA, because the Federal Placard on these vehicles displays incorrect tire information. The placard indicates a tire size of ST205/75R15 Load Range E, but the trailers are actually equipped with ST225/75R15 Load Range E tires. If owners rely on the incorrect placard when replacing tires, they could install the wrong tires, which may lead to premature tire wear or failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Forest River has notified owners of the recall, which began on March 15, 2018. Dealers will install a corrected federal placard with the proper tire and rim information at no charge. Owners of affected trailers should contact Forest River customer service at 1-909-873-3777 and reference recall number 19-0661 to schedule the remedy.
