Recall 15V-875: 2016 Prime Time Spartan
Forest River, Inc. recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Dec 23, 2015, covering about 60 vehicles.
The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016 Prime Time recreational trailers, models FHT2614X, FHT2910 and FHT2912X, manufactured September 14, 2015, to December 17, 2015. The affected vehicles may be equipped with a Federal Placard that lists an incorrect tire size of ST225/75R15 Load Range E, when the correct tire size is ST225/75R15 Load Range D. The actual tires installed on the trailer have a maximum tire pressure lower than what the placard lists and may be overinflated if filled per the placard specifications. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The risk
Over inflated tires may result in sudden tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.
