EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020 Shockwave Toyhauler SHT18FS-CA trailers. The Federal Placard indicates the incorrect tire pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- What it can cause
- The incorrect tire pressure can cause a loss of vehicle control or premature tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Forest River will notify owners and will provide a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began January 20, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-909-873-3777. Forest River's number for this recall is 19-1126.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 20 vehicles this is a small campaign: 87% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 123 times before this, most recently in November 2019 as 19V785000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Forest River, Inc. with NHTSA on January 10, 2020 as campaign 20V009000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
