Recall 17V-306: 2017 Forest River XLR Toyhauler
Forest River, Inc. recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on May 8, 2017, covering about 52 vehicles.
The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017 XLR ToyHauler trailers, model XLT26HFS.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

The incorrect information may cause the operator to underinflate the tire, potentially causing tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
