What's wrong?
The Federal Placard on a 2024 Forest River Salem, Wildwood, or Stealth Evo travel trailer is the factory label that tells an owner or service shop the approved tire and rim information for that exact trailer. It is supposed to match the way the trailer was built, including tire and rim choices tied to its option package.
On affected trailers, the option code changed the tire size, but the matching rim-size change was not included in the plant request. That left the Federal Placard with the wrong rim size for trailers built with that option. The problem is the printed information on the label, which gives the owner or shop the wrong reference when checking tires, rims, or replacement parts.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is found by checking the placard information against the trailer build and replacing the label with one that lists the correct rim size.
Who's affected?
Covers Salem, Wildwood, and Stealth Evo trailer lines using the same vehicle label.
| 2024 Forest River Salem | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2024 Forest River Wildwood | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| 2024 Forest River Stealth Evo | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 35 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
A matching 2024 Forest River model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect rim size on the placard can lead an owner or tire shop to install the wrong wheels, increasing the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign from the vehicle before that mistake is made, so confirm the placard repair before replacing wheels. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Forest River Salem, Wildwood, or Stealth Evo travel trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free Federal Placard replacement that corrects the rim-size label.
- Bring the recall notice if Forest River mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V530 when you call.
- Avoid changing wheels or rims based only on the placard until the corrected label is installed.
