TIRES

The defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022 Cherokee Toy Hauler vehicles. The Tire and Loading Information placard label may indicate incorrect rim information. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 120, "Wheels and Rims-Other Than Passenger Cars" and 567, "Certification."
What it can cause
The vehicle operator may install incorrect replacement tires that do not fix properly on the rim, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Forest River will mail a replacement Tire and Loading Information placard, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 8, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-499-2100. Forest River's number for this recall is 73-1457.
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.nhtsa.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 82 vehicles this is a small campaign: 72% 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, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.

Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the tires 16 times before this, most recently in January 2022 as 22V004000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 23 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 of those name the tires, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V556000 (equipment), 22V486000 (equipment), 22V243000 (equipment), 22V135000 (electrical system).

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 14, 2022 as campaign 22V012000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
