Forest River is recalling nine model year 2020 Rockwood RLF8298KS and Flagstaff FLF8529RLS recreational trailers.

Due to improper tire clearance, the tire may contact the steel chassis outrigger, possibly resulting in tire failure.

Tire failure can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a new outrigger to achieve the proper tire clearance, and damaged tires will be replaced free of charge.

The recall was expected to begin December 27, 2019.

Owners may contact Forest River customer service at (574) 642-8954. Forest River's number for this recall is 10C-1116.
