What's wrong?
The federal placard on a 2017 Forest River Xlr Toyhauler is the label that tells an owner the correct tire size, load information, and cold tire pressure. That label is supposed to match the tires and axles installed on the trailer, so the owner has the right pressure before towing.
On affected trailers, a data entry error put the wrong rear-tire pressure on the placard. The label says the rear tires should be inflated to 50psi, but they should be inflated to 80psi. If an owner follows the wrong label, the rear tires are left below the pressure required for the rear axle.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is the printed instruction, so the key clue is the placard itself: the rear-tire pressure reads 50psi instead of the correct 80psi.
Who's affected?
This recall is listed under both the vehicle label and tire categories, so the owner details should be read together.

Not every 2017 Forest River Xlr Toyhauler trailer is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect tire-pressure information can lead you to underinflate the tire. An underinflated tire can fail and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign listed for this recall, so use the corrected placard once installed and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Forest River Xlr Toyhauler is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the corrected Federal Placard installation that fixes the rear tire-pressure label from 50psi to 80psi.
- Bring the recall notice if you received one. If not, reference recall number 17V306 when you call.
- Keep the rear tires inflated to 80psi as listed on the corrected placard until the dealer completes the free label repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician installs a corrected Federal Placard so the trailer's tire-pressure label matches the required inflation information. The recall repair is available now, and the corrected placard and labor are free under the recall. The service visit is focused on the label, not a tire replacement, so ask the service desk to confirm that the placard on your 2017 Xlr Toyhauler shows the corrected rear tire pressure before you leave.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 17V306?
Recall 17V306 covers 52 2017 Forest River Xlr Toyhauler trailers with a Federal Placard that lists rear tire pressure as 50 psi instead of 80 psi. That wrong label can lead to underinflated rear tires, tire failure, and increased crash risk.
What should I do if my 2017 Forest River Xlr Toyhauler is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific trailer is included in recall 17V306. If it is, contact a franchised Forest River dealer and ask for the corrected Federal Placard installation. Reference recall number 17V306 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Forest River's recall remedy says dealers will install the corrected Federal Placard free of charge. The label correction is the official repair for this recall, and it fixes the tire-pressure information the owner uses for the rear tires.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is rear tire underinflation. The placard lists 50 psi when the rear tires need 80 psi, so an owner following the incorrect label can run the tires too low. Underinflated tires can fail and increase crash risk.
What if I bought my Forest River Xlr Toyhauler used?
The free recall repair still applies. Ownership history does not decide whether the trailer is included. Check your VIN, then call a franchised Forest River dealer with recall number 17V306 so the service desk can confirm coverage and install the corrected placard.
