**Campaign:** 17V-612

**NHTSA:** https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=17V612

## The problem

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Forester motorhomes, model FRC3271SF.  The Federal Placard may inaccurately state that the vehicle has single rear wheels and tires, when the vehicle is equipped with dual rear wheels and tires.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, 
"Wheels and Rims-Other than Passenger Cars" and fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

## The safety risk

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.

## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners and will provide a corrected Placard, free of charge.  The recall began on October 18, 2017.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-206-7600.  Forest River's number for this recall is 34-0528.
