What's wrong?
The Federal Placard on a 2018 Prime Time Fury recreational trailer is the label owners and service shops use to confirm the trailer's approved tire size, rim size, and inflation pressure. It is supposed to match the tires and rims actually installed on that specific trailer, so replacement tires and service work follow the correct specification.
On affected Fury trailers, the placard information does not match the hardware on the trailer. The label states ST235/80R16E tires and 16X6.0JJ rims, while the trailer is actually equipped with ST225/75R15E tires and 15X6.0JJ rims. Forest River traced the mismatch to a data system error that printed the wrong tire and rim combination on the placard.
There is no warning sign before failure because the problem is the label, not a part that changes how the trailer feels on the road. The fix is a replacement placard with the correct tire size, rim designation, and PSI/kPa information.

Not every 2018 Prime Time Fury trailer is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect placard can lead an owner or tire shop to install the wrong replacement tire and rim combination. The wrong combination can increase the risk of a crash. Check the placard before replacing tires and schedule the recall repair. Repair is free at any franchised Prime Time dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018 Prime Time Fury is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Prime Time dealer to schedule the free corrected Federal Placard installation that lists the proper ST225/75R15E tire and 15X6.0JJ rim information.
- Bring the recall notice if Prime Time mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V711 when you call.
- Verify the tire and rim sizes on the trailer before buying replacements; the incorrect placard can lead to the wrong tire and rim combination.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Prime Time technician installs corrected Federal Placards so the trailer label matches the tires and rims actually fitted to the 2018 Fury. The new placards replace the incorrect tire and rim information listed on the original label. Parts and labor are covered by the recall, and the dealer performs the label correction free of charge. The remedy is a label replacement, not a tire or wheel replacement, based on the recall repair description.
