What's wrong?
The Federal Placard on a 2022 Forest River Cherokee toy hauler is the label that lists key tire, rim, and loading information for that trailer. Owners, tire shops, and dealers use that label when checking wheel fitment or replacing tire and rim combinations. The label is supposed to match the equipment installed at the factory.
On affected Cherokee toy haulers, the placard lists the rim size as 16X6J when it should list 16X7J. Forest River traced the issue to a clerical error found during a corporate quality control inspection. The trailer is not being recalled because the rim itself is described as defective. The problem is that the required label gives the wrong rim information.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because this is a placard error, the trailer will not shake, pull, or show a dashboard warning because of the incorrect label.
Who's affected?
This scope centers on the federal placard and tire information, not a separate model-year split.

Not every 2022 Forest River Cherokee trailer is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect tire and loading placard can lead the vehicle operator to install replacement tires that do not fit the rim correctly. A poor tire-to-rim fit increases crash risk. There is no warning sign listed before the wrong tire choice creates the hazard, so confirm the placard before replacing tires. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
