Recall history
1 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
14V140000 · Equipment:Recreational Vehicle/Trailer | Structure
Reported: 2014-03-24 (March 24, 2014)
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2014 Crusader fifth wheel trailers, model CSF315RST, manufactured September 26, 2013, through March 3, 2014. In the affected trailers, the slide room actuator bracket may come into contact with the tire under certain road conditions.
Consequence: If the bracket comes in contact with the tire, sudden tire failure may result, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a replacement bracket that will adequately clear the tire, free of charge. The recall began on April 17, 2014. Owners may contact Forest River at 1-574-862-3001.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
