Recall 06V-229: 2006 Forest River Lexington
FOREST RIVER, INC. recall for power train, reported to NHTSA on Jun 16, 2006, covering about 697 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trailers, the wheel stud can fail and separates at the base of the thread. This reduces clamp force on the wheel.
The risk
The studs snap off and the wheel and tire are no longer secured to the hub. The wheel may separate from the trailer causing it to be a projectile on the highway increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the hubs with new studs free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact forest river at 574-389-4600.
