The problem
Forest River, Inc.(Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015 Palomino PaloMini vehicles manufactured November 14, 2014, to July 23, 2015. The cambers in the axle tubes may have been installed upside down. This can cause the tube to appear bent downward towards the ground, when the bend should be pointing upwards to the unit floor.
The risk
A mispositioned camber may come in contact with a tire, a spindle or other components leading to fracture or failure, and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reposition any mispositioned cambers, free of charge. The recall began on August 21, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-269-432-3246. Forest River's number for this recall is 400-07282015-0065.
