Brand(s)
Summary
Please see corrective actions section below
Affected products
2016 | FOREST RIVER | RIVERSTONE, 2017 | FOREST RIVER | RIVERSTONE
Issue
On certain fifth wheel trailers, the spare tire and rim combination provided with the vehicle are incompatible with the disk-brake hubs. The wheel is contoured in a fashion which does not allow the rim to mount flat and flush to the hub face. Should a user install the subject spare tire assembly, the lug nuts could fail and possibly cause a wheel and/or the caliper to detach from the brake mount, leading to reduced braking effectiveness, and could affect vehicle handling which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the spare rim and tire assembly with a compatible spare rim and tire.
