Incorrect Tire Information on Label/FMVSS 110

Recalled: December 29, 2014 ~159 units affected 14V823

Description

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015 Vibe VBT272BHS travel trailers manufactured July 15, 2014, to December 19, 2014. These trailers may have incorrect tire size and tire pressure information on the Federal Certification and Tire labels. The information on the label lists the installed tires as ST225/75R15/C inflated to 50 PSI, however the tires that are actually mounted on the trailer are ST225/75R15/D inflated to 65 PSI. As such, these trailers fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 Kilograms (10,000 Pounds) or Less."

Injuries / Consequence

If the tires are replaced with the tires indicated on the label, the tires may be insufficient to carry the load and a tire blow out may result, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Forest River will send new labels to dealers and owners with the correct tire information, free of charge. The recall began on January 19, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-206-593-4005. Forest River's number for this recall is 59-12232014.
