---

NHTSA Campaign Number: 05V484000
Manufacturer: FOREST RIVER, INC.

Defect Summary:
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH TREDIT WHEELS, THE RIMS MAY HAVE POOR WELD QUALITY AND INSUFFICIENT PRESS FIT BETWEEN THE WHEEL RIM AND DISC.

Consequence Summary:
THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL COULD SEPARATE FROM THE RIM. THE WHEEL MAY WOBBLE AND CAUSE A VIBRATION OR THE MOUNTED TIRE COULD LOSE AIR CAUSING THE TIRE TO GO FLAT, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Corrective Summary:
FOREST RIVER IS WORKING WITH TREDIT TIRE TO NOTIFY OWNERS AND HAVE THE WHEELS REPLACED WITH A 16" ALUMINUM WHEEL. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING OCTOBER 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FOREST RIVER AT 1-574-389-4600.
