Summary

Feb 5, 2019
Summary

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Vibe recreational trailers, model ORVBT236RBS-64. The Federal Placard has incorrect rear tire information, indicating ST205/75R15C tires inflated to 50psi, when the actual tires are size ST225/75R15D inflated to 65psi. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

Risk

The incorrect tire information can cause the operator to install the wrong size and load range of replacement tires, or underinflate the existing tires. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Forest River will notify owners will provide them a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on June 6, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-541-644-8063. Forest River's number for this recall is 64-05232017-0413.
