26dec had a tire failure on the road. After inspection found the tire was worn through the cord on the outside 1 inch of the tire. Further, after looking at the other three tires, found the same problem was occurring on the others. Contacted the rv dealer and they transferred me to the rv manufacture, forest river. Forest river took no responsibility of the issue and passed me to their axle supplier. After several hours investigating on the internet I found many others reporting abnormal tire wear due to axle miss-alignment. The axle manufacture is al-ko. Al-ko agreed to send a replacement set of axles. I?m filling this report to help save others possible injury due to tire failure from fault manufacturing practices of the al-ko company. Through internet research, I?ve found 30+ reports of others having the same axle issues with al-ko. Please be advise; the correct vehicle was not listed. The vehicle in subject is 2006 forest river wildcat 32qbbs 5th wheel camper,.

- What is wrong
- Forest river is recalling certain my 2003-2006 motor homes, fifth wheel and travel trailers equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation.

- Remedy
- Forest river is working with dometic to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). Dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. Dometic has retained stericycle inc. To manage this campaign. Stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments.
