## What is wrong

Forest River, Inc. \(Forest River\) is recalling certain model year 2016\-2017 Riverstone Legacy fifth wheel recreational trailers manufactured October 7, 2016, to October 18, 2016.  The spare tire and rim combination on the affected vehicles may be incompatible with the disk\-brake hubs, preventing the rim from mounting flat and flush to the hub face.


## What can happen

If an owner installs the spare wheel that was provided with the trailer, the lug nuts may fail, allowing the wheel to detach, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the spare rim and tire assembly, free of charge.  The recall began on December 20, 2016.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1\-574\-367\-3269.  Forest River's number for this recall is 70\-10312016\-0263.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
