What's wrong?
The federal placard on a 2019 Forest River Wildwood is the tire and loading label owners and service shops use when setting tire pressure. It is supposed to list the correct cold tire pressure for the front, rear, and spare tires so the trailer is inflated to the pressure Forest River certified for that vehicle.
On affected Wildwood trailers, the wrong tire-pressure value was selected before the placard was printed. The placard lists the front tire pressure as 110 PSI, but the correct pressure for the front, rear, and spare tires is 80 PSI. That means an owner following the label reads the wrong inflation instruction for the front tires.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is the information on the label, so the sign an owner can check is the placard itself: if it shows 110 PSI for the front tires, it does not match the corrected Forest River placard.
