Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 107 of its 2023-2024 Salem and Wildwood fifth wheel travel trailers because the federal safety placard may list the wrong tire size. This error means the trailers do not comply with federal safety standards for wheels and rims. If an owner relies on this incorrect information, they might install the wrong replacement tires on the trailer. Forest River is mailing corrected placards to all affected owners free of charge.

Risk

Using the incorrect tire size can lead to improper vehicle handling or tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash.

  3. If you own an affected trailer, Forest River will mail you a new, corrected federal placard free of charge to replace the one with the incorrect tire size information.
  4. If you have questions about your specific trailer or the replacement placard, contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-534-3167 and reference recall number 69-1731.
