Problem Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Prime Time Tracer recreational trailers. The Federal Placard on these vehicles may not list the correct tire pressure information of 65 PSI and 448 kPa. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims," and the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification." Risk Following the incorrect tire pressure information can cause the tires to prematurely fail, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will provide corrected Federal Placards, free of charge. The recall began on September 21, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for this recall is 48-0514.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 48-0514 is the number Prime Time assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 17V551000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
