What's wrong?
The tires and rims on a 2016 Forest River Stealth Evo trailer work as a matched load-carrying set. The tire size and load range tell the owner and dealer how much weight each tire is built to carry, while the rim keeps that tire seated and balanced as the trailer is towed. For this recall, the correct tire is ST205/75R15 LRD.
On affected Stealth Evo trailers, the wrong load range tire was installed during manufacturing. That means the tire fitted to the trailer was not rated for the trailer's required load. A tire carrying more weight than it was designed to carry can overheat, wear faster, and fail before it should.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a change in ride feel, a visible bulge, or a dashboard alert, since the trailer does not give the same kind of tire warning a tow vehicle gives.
Who's affected?
Wheel hardware and tires are both listed in the scope for the same trailer model.

What's the safety risk?
Unexpected tire failure increases the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so drive cautiously and schedule the tire and rim replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
