| Description of the problem | Had 2 blowouts on same tire within 500 miles, the day after we bought it from camping world. This is exactly what happened. Summary: 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. Consequence: 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. Remedy: 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-[xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
