What's wrong?
The Federal Placard on a 2023-2024 Forest River Wildwood or Salem trailer is the label that tells an owner, tire shop, or dealer the correct tire size for that trailer. That tire information matters because replacement tires need the right size and load capacity for the trailer they carry.
On affected trailers, the placard was printed with an incorrect tire size. Forest River traced the issue to a clerical error when the tire size was entered for these models. The listed size is not a manufactured tire size, and the wrong label can point an owner toward a similar-looking tire with a lower load rating when replacement tires are needed.
There is no warning sign before failure. The trailer does not give a light, sound, or driving symptom because the defect is printed information on the placard, not a part wearing out.
Who's affected?
Wildwood and Salem trailers are included across the 2023 and 2024 model years with the same federal placard issue.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect tire size information can lead to the wrong tires being installed on the trailer, increasing crash risk. There is no warning sign because the problem is printed guidance, not a part that fails first. If your VIN is included, use the corrected placard before tire replacement. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.

What happens at the repair
The repair is a replacement federal placard with corrected tire size information. Forest River dealers mail the new placards free of charge, so parts and labor are covered under the recall. If you already paid for a repair within the scope of this placard defect, submit the service invoice to Salem/Wildwood Forest River, Attn: Warranty Manager, in Goshen, Indiana, to request reimbursement. Forest River still needs the recall completed or inspected so the correct placard and procedure are confirmed.
