2012–2013 Forest River Flagstaff & 2012–2013 Forest River Rockwood + 2 more recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong
Forest River is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Rockwood, Windjammer, Vlite and Flagstaff travel trailers manufactured February 3, 2012, through February 4, 2013. When an affected trailer hits a large bump or pot hole, the trailer tire may contact the bottom of the floor.
💥 The risk
As a result, the tire may become damaged and possibly blow out which may cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will add a lift kit between the frame and the axle mounting brackets, free of charge. Owners may contact Forest River at 1-574-825-7178.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
