2016 Cherokee Grey Wolf recalls

Recall 16V-164: Equipment

Reported Mar 22, 2016 · 224 vehicles affected · Forest River, Inc.

Problem: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016 Cherokee Grey Wolf recreational trailers manufactured from March 23, 2015, through March 9, 2016. The Federal Placard incorrectly indicates the tire and rim size as ST205/75R15/C Tire(s) with 15X5.0JJ rims. However, the trailer is equipped with ST205/75R14/C Tire(s) with 14X5.5JJ rims. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

Risk: Incorrect information on the Federal Placard may lead to the operator overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a tire blowout and the possibility of a crash.

Fix: Forest River will notify owners and will send them a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on April 25, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-541-995-3447 extension 4013. Forest River's recall number for this campaign is 64-03112016-0147.

Exterior Lighting · at 10 miles · reported Nov 22, 2016
The headlights are very dim. I keep my lights on high beam all the time and know one flashes their lights at me.even on high beam the lights are not bright. When you test drive a car you don't drive at night. I AM afraid to drive at night because of the lights. I AM afraid of hitting dear, not being able to see them. We are driving to florida from pa. Before we go I AM taking it to the dealer and getting brighter headlights in. That way I will feel safer. I should get re imbursted for the the lights since they are a safety hazard driving at night !!!! Thank you wanda
