Apr 17, 2020

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2016 Rockwood RLT2604WS, WRLT2604WS, Flagstaff FLT26RLWS and WFLT26RLWS recreational trailers. Due to insufficient clearance between the front tire and slide out actuator, the tire may contact the slide out bracket and become damaged.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the front tire becomes damaged, it may fail and cause a loss control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a lift kit that will provide the proper clearance between the tire and the slide out bracket. Damaged tires will be replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began May 11, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-8943. Forest River's number for this recall is 10D-1159.
