- Summary
- On certain motor homes equipped with tredit wheels, the rims may have poor weld quality and insufficient press fit between the wheel rim and disc.
- Consequence
- The center of the wheel could separate from the rim. The wheel may wobble and cause a vibration or the mounted tire could lose air causing the tire to go flat, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Forest river is working with tredit tire to notify owners and have the wheels replaced with a 16" aluminum wheel. The recall is expected to begin during October 2005. Owners may contact forest river at 1-574-389-4600.

Has your Forest River been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Forest River dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
