What's wrong?
The chassis on these 2024 Forest River Aurora and Catalina travel trailers is the frame that supports the trailer body, axles, suspension, tires, and slide-out hardware. The slide adjustment bolt and slide arm help position the slide mechanism so the room can move while staying clear of nearby parts.
On affected trailers, the plant changed from an LCI chassis to a NORCO chassis. The NORCO main beams are lower than the prior design, which places the slide arm and adjustment bolt in the path of the driver's rear tire. As the tire moves upward during normal suspension travel, it can contact the slide hardware, damage the sidewall, and puncture the tire.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear or feel the tire touching the hardware before the tire is damaged.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician replaces the slide adjustment bolt and installs a shackle kit so the tire no longer contacts the bolt. The recall repair is available, and the replacement parts and labor are free. Forest River used its standard reimbursement plan for this recall, so documented related repairs paid before the recall notice are handled through that plan. If you already paid for this tire contact repair, ask Forest River customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit the paperwork.
