- What is wrong
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Forester motorhomes, model FRC3271SF.

- Risk
- The Federal Placards may cause the operator to not properly maintain the tires and/or wheels. Failure to maintain the tires may lead to improper handling, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
