Defect description
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016 Prime Time recreational trailers, models FHT2614X, FHT2910 and FHT2912X, manufactured September 14, 2015, to December 17, 2015.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Safety consequence
Over inflated tires may result in sudden tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.
