Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Forest River Prime Time recreational trailers. The Federal Placard incorrectly states that the tire pressure should be 65PSI when the correct tire pressure is 80PSI. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
The incorrect tire information may cause the operator to underinflate the tire, leading to premature tire wear and increasing the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners and will provide a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on July 24, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for this recall is 48-0756.

Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Oct 17, 2016, fire
THE EXTERNAL LED LIGHTING ON THIS AVENGER TRAVEL TRAILER WERE IN USE AND STARTED A FIRE THAT BURNED THROUGH THE PLASTIC CASING. THIS CAUSED THE AWNING ABOVE TO HAVE SMOKE DAMAGE. LUCKILY WE CAUGHT IT IN TIME THAT THE AWNING OR TRAILER DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS OF A TRAILER.
