## What is wrong

Forest River, Inc. \(Forest River\) is recalling certain 2018 Puma recreational trailers.  When installing and tightening the wheels on the trailers, the wheel center caps may have interfered, preventing the wheels from being properly tightened.


## What can happen

If the wheels were not properly tightened, they may loosen and detach while the trailer is moving, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will remove the plastic wheel center cap and install a different center cap, free of charge.  The recall began on November 1, 2017.  Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1\-574\-642\-0588.  Forest River's number for this recall is 420\-0537.


## 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.
