Issue

On certain travel trailers, the certification, tire and loading information placard does not contain correct tire size and load range information. The labels incorrectly indicate a tire size of ST225/75R15D a rim designation of 15X6.0JJ which have an 60 PSI maximum inflation pressure, while the trailers are fitted with ST205/75R14C with a rim designation of 14X5.5JJ which have a 50 PSI maximum inflation pressure. The use of the wrong tire and rim size as a result of this discrepancy could lead to poor vehicle handling characteristics, and increase the risk of tire failure, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Forest River will mail a corrected certification label to current owners and dealers with instructions for proper placement. If owners are not comfortable installing the label themselves, they can take the label to a Forest River dealer for installation.
