HAD 2 BLOWOUTS ON SAME TIRE WITHIN 500 MILES, THE DAY AFTER WE BOUGHT IT FROM CAMPING WORLD. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. SUMMARY: FOREST RIVER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012-2013 ROCKWOOD, WINDJAMMER, VLITE AND FLAGSTAFF TRAVEL TRAILERS MANUFACTURED FEBRUARY 3, 2012, THROUGH FEBRUARY 4, 2013. WHEN AN AFFECTED TRAILER HITS A LARGE BUMP OR POT HOLE, THE TRAILER TIRE MAY CONTACT THE BOTTOM OF THE FLOOR. CONSEQUENCE: AS A RESULT, THE TIRE MAY BECOME DAMAGED AND POSSIBLY BLOW OUT WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. REMEDY: FOREST RIVER WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL ADD A LIFT KIT BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE AXLE MOUNTING BRACKETS, FREE OF CHARGE.…

OK PURCHASED THIS TRAILER NEW. AFTER ABOUT 1500 MILES WE HAD A BLOWOUT WITHOUT KNOWING IT ON THE FRONT AXLE PASSENGER SIDE. WE DISCOVERED IT WHEN WE PULLED INTO A CAMPGROUND. THERE WAS ONLY SIDEWALLS LEFT. WE PUT THE SPARE ON AND WENT TO A TIRE STORE THE NEXT DAY. WE REPLACED THE TIRE AND THE OTHER SIDE ON THAT AXLE SO THE TIRES WOULD MATCH. WE TOOK SEVERAL SHORT TRIPS AROUND THE AREA AND THEN IN THE SPRING OF 2017. ON THE WAY HOME WITH ONCE AGAIN ABOUT 1500 MILES ON THE NEW TIRES THE TIRE MINDERS ALERTED UP THAT WE WERE LOSING AIR IN THE TIRE ON THE FRONT AXLE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE.

THE DAMAGE WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL RECENTLY, BUT BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION OF THE TIRE IT OBVIOUSLY HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE.*DT*JB
