Chronology :
During a routine Corporate Standards Audit during the week of May 3, 2024, it was discovered that when the manufacturing plant installed the optional tire, the clearance above the tire appeared to be inconsistent with the recommended tire to structure minimum distance once the recreational vehicle is manufactured.
From May 7, 2024, through May 28, 2024, the manufacturing plant reviewed the condition and researched if any vehicles may have shipped.
On May 28, 2024, the manufacturing plant contacted Forest River’s Office of Corporate Compliance (“OCC”).
OCC opened a research item and continued to help the plant evaluate the condition.
On May 31, 2024, Forest Rivers Corporate Recall Committee voted to recall.
