The problem

Forest river is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 salem travel trailers manufactured from september 25, 2009, through january 13, 2011. The bottom leaf on the leaf springs may rotate out of position and make contact with the tire.

The risk

This will cause the tire to blow out without warning and a loss of control of the vehicle resulting in property damage and/or personal injury or death.

The fix

Dealers will place two square bend "u" bolts with washers and nuts and retaining plate that will be centered on the spring center bolt to restrain the lower spring leaf. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on february 3, 2011. Owners may contact forest river at 574-389-4600.
