What's wrong?
The axle on a 2025 Forest River Cedar Creek fifth wheel carries the trailer's loaded weight and keeps the wheels aligned under the frame. The tires carry that same load at the road surface, so the axle rating and tire load rating have to match the trailer.
On affected trailers, Forest River says an engineering error led to undersized parts being installed. The trailer was built with 6,000 lb axles and ST235/80R16/E tires, when this model needs 7,000 lb axles and ST235/80R16/G tires. With too little load capacity, the axle and tire package can be overstressed, and the tire can detach.
There is no warning sign before failure. Forest River reported that the affected trailers were still at dealers and had not been sold to retail owners.
Who's affected?
Both listed components trace to the same ST235/80R16/E tire.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
A tire that detaches increases the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so if your VIN is included, schedule the repair before using the trailer again. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Forest River Cedar Creek is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free axle and tire replacement that corrects the undersized axle and tire issue.
- Reference recall number 24V883 and Forest River recall 20-1873 when you call.
- Ask the dealer whether the trailer needs transport before moving it for repair, since a tire detaching increases crash risk.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician replaces the undersized axles and tires covered by recall 24V883. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. Forest River says the affected trailers had not been sold from dealer inventory, so owner letters were not mailed. If you already paid for a repair within the scope of this defect, the trailer still needs the recall inspection or repair so the dealer can confirm the correct parts and procedures. For reimbursement, submit the service invoice to Cedar Creek at the address listed in the recall notice.
