Power Train / Axle Hubs
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain trailers, the wheel stud can fail and separates at the base of the thread. This reduces clamp force on the wheel.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The studs snap off and the wheel and tire are no longer secured to the hub. The wheel may separate from the trailer causing it to be a projectile on the highway increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the hubs with new studs free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact forest river at 574-389-4600.

Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer / LPG Systems / Lines and Fittings
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain class b motor homes, if the axle bottoms out against the rubber suspension snubbers, it is possible that the "u" bolts that hold the springs to the rear axle can penetrate the steel tube and come into contact with the steel liquid propane (lp) manifold.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The tube may be crushed causing a crack in the tube, and lp gas may leak causing a fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the manifold and install it inside the chassis rail away from the suspension system entirely. Dealers and owners have been notified not to use the lp systems in their vehicles until the repairs can be made. Owners may contact forest river at 1-574-389-4600.
