Defect description

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Forest River Prime Time recreational trailers.

Safety risk

The incorrect tire information may cause the operator to underinflate the tire, leading to premature tire wear and increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Safety risk

The incorrect information may cause the operator to exceed the CCC and GVWR of the vehicle, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
