These vehicles contain incorrect tire inflation pressures on the Vehicle Certification Label. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 567, "Certification."

Risk. The incorrect tire pressure information given on the Federal Certification Tag and Tire Information Tag may lead to the tire being overinflated, resulting in sudden tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Forest River will notify owners and will provide a corrected replacement label, free of charge. The recall began on November 25, 2013. Owners may contact Forest River at 1-574-534-3167.

WE HAD NOTE A BIG CUT IN THE VINYL FLOOR. SO WE DECIDED TO REMOVED FOR REPAIR, BECAUSE IT'S NOT COVER BY THE GARANTY, BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEM THIS YEAR WITH THE FLOOR. (SO THERE'S CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH THE FLOOR) THEN WE REALIZED THAT THE WHOLE FRONT FLOOR WAS BLACK. WE LOOK AT THE ROOF AND THERE IS SOFT, THERE'S BEEN A MAJOR INFILTRATION OR LEAK OF WATER, BUT IT'S NOT APPARENT IN THE INTERIOR, THAT MAKE A BUMP IN THE FIBERGLASS IN THE EXTERIOR. THE SELLER TOLD US THAT'S ALWAYS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TOP FRONT JOINT. WE HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER CASES LIKE OURS FOR THE SAME PRODUCT AND THE SAME PROBLEM. WE ARE SURE THAT IT'S A MAUFACTURING DEFECT, AND WE WANT TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE IT CAUSES A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. IT COST 9 500$ IF THE DEALER REPAIR. WE THINK THAT IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THAT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENT IF THE CUSTUMER DON'T REALIZE THAT THERE'S WATER INFILTRATION AND THE VR DETERIORATES TO THE POINT OF REACHING THE STRUCTURE. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
