| Defect summary | Forest river, inc. (forest river) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 cardinal recreational vehicles, models caf3455rl, caf3825fl and caf3850rl, manufactured from november 20, 2015, through april 1, 2016. These vehicles may be equipped with a federal placard that indicates an incorrect tire and rim combination. The placard states the tire and rim combination is st235/80r16 lre tires with 80 psi and a rim designation of 16x6. 00jj, when the actual combination on the vehicle is lt235/85t16 lrg tires with 110 psi and a rim designation of 16x6. 00hd. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 110, "tire selection and rims." |
| Consequence summary | If the operator inflates the tires to the psi indicated on the label, the tires will be operated while being under-inflated causing pre-mature wear and a possible tire blow out, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. |
| Corrective action | Forest river will notify owners, and provide a new corrected federal placard, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on, or about, june 23, 2016.
