2015 Forest river SHASTA Suspension Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1183891
Internal NHTSA #	10716724
Manufacurer	Forest River, Inc.
Brand	FOREST RIVER
Model	SHASTA
Model Year	2015
File date	10/04/15
Component	SUSPENSION
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	This is an fr travel trailer which has coker passenger tires on it instead of coker trailer tires or other brand of trailer tire. The tires have inadequate clearance and as a result are rubbing inside the wheel well bother laterally and vertically. This is a serious safety concern for which shasta (fr subsidiary) has offered a cheap fix (shackle attachment to spring). Tire size = st225/75r15d designed for passenger cars. The suspension on this camper consists of cheap chinese 4 leaf springs which flatten out after only a few miles driven. The stickers on the side of the camper informs the owner to inflate the coker tire to 65 psi even though the tire itself indicates only 35psi maximum inflation. I consider this to be a serious safety concern which forest river is not taking seriously. There should be a recall on all 1,941 units built based on the very real possibility of the tires rubbing then causing a blowout at highway speeds. This was a limited edition run to celebrate the 75th anniversary of shasta (now owned by forest river). In addition to the wheel well clearance issue, there is also the matter of the windows falling out. I have had two windows replaced already less than 6 months into ownership of the camper. Manufacturer is hehr and the adhesive on the windows was either a. Not prepped according to the manufacturer specs or b. Installed incorrectly. Either way this poses a second very serious safety concern as the windows could (and have on other units) fallen out on the road.
