As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 17V612000.
Defect description
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Forester motorhomes, model FRC3271SF.

Safety consequence
The Federal Placards may cause the operator to not properly maintain the tires and/or wheels. Failure to maintain the tires may lead to improper handling, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
