NHTSA #17V513000 · Equipment — Other — Labels · NHTSA notice

Reported August 18, 2017 · Forest River, Inc.

Potentially affected: 184 vehicles

Forest River campaign 35.55.215-0491 · Owners notified September 5, 2017 · Vehicles built April 20, 2017 – August 17, 2017 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Forest River Dynamax, Forester, Sunseeker, and Coachmen Prism vehicles built on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans. The affected vehicles have tire labels on the B-pillar that list a tire pressure that is too low. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Safety consequence

Operating the vehicle with low front tire pressures may result in tire damage, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and authorized Mercedes-Benz or Freightliner Sprinter dealers will inspect and replace the tire pressure label with correct tire inflation pressure, free of charge. The recall began on September 5, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-854-888-3214. Forest River's number for this recall is 35.55.215-0491.

Notes
