NHTSA recall campaign
19V085000
What was wrong
Defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Cherokee recreational trailers. The Federal Placards indicate incorrect tire size information of ST205/75R15, when the vehicles are actually equipped with ST225/75R15 tires. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims." Additionally, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Risk
The incorrect information may cause an operator to install a tire that is insufficient for the vehicle, increasing the risk of crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Forest River has notified owners and sent them a new Federal Placard that has correct tire size information, free of charge. The recall began February 25, 2019. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-541-644-8072, extension 4022. Forest River's number for this recall is 64-0948.
