Defect description

Forest River is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Rockwood, Windjammer, Vlite and Flagstaff travel trailers manufactured February 3, 2012, through February 4, 2013. When an affected trailer hits a large bump or pot hole, the trailer tire may contact the bottom of the floor.

Safety risk

As a result, the tire may become damaged and possibly blow out which may cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will add a lift kit between the frame and the axle mounting brackets, free of charge. Owners may contact Forest River at 1-574-825-7178.

Owner complaints

A complaint is one person's report to a federal agency. It is not a finding.
