The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 XLR ToyHaulers, models XLT23KW and XLT23KW-W. The Federal Placard on these vehicles may not provide the incorrect tire and rim combination information of ST225/75R15/E tires needing 80 PSI and rims of 16X6.0JJ. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
The risk
If the information is incorrect, operators could install the incorrect size replacement tires, which can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Forest River will notify owners and provide a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on September 5, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432. Forest River's number for this recall is 45-0509.
