Pull your last 4 digits and compare them to the range listed.  If your number is within that range you're a part of it.

Many thanks for posting the VIN range.

Our 179 is 2015 but I'll check anyway. When I got our Pod in April a guy I work with said he was traveling through Wisconsin when he saw an Rpod on the side of the road with the driver side wheel ripped off and some carnage on the road. Ironically a few miles up the road he got a flat tire.]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2015 02:18:16 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6564&PID=64031#64031 Forest River Recall : Originally posted by CFWARRENI... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6564&PID=64007#64007 Author: kymooses

Are you one of the affected Vin Numbers?  I don't think many of the units in it actually made it out into the retail world.

Same deal as HuronSailor, I was also able to go to any authorized Forest River dealer for my recall work.  I chose one that was close to my work just out of convenience.

Recall work is usually easier than warranty work to get done at other places than your selling dealer.

Well, looks like that includes me; guess I'll be getting a letter from FR here pretty soon.....geez.
What I'm wondering is, will I be required to have the work done at the RV Dealership I bought it from, or will I be able to use any RV service place that does warranty work for FR?  Anyone on here been thru anything like this before?

Here is the recall letter with the affected Vin Numbers and production manufacture dates.

You can see by the serial numbers that all the affected Pods are from the Dallas Oregon plant so they would all be HREs.  Goshen Pods are not affected by this

I talked to the Surveyor plant in Indiana yesterday and they said it only affected Surveyors built at their Oregon plant.

Did anyone happen to see the recall that Forest River will be starting soon.  It was reported in the NYT this morning.  Doug, the Surveyor was one of the units to be recalled.  Might want to search for the article.

2016 FOREST RIVER SURVEYOR RECALL - #15V359000

RECALL FOR SUSPENSION : REAR : AXLE : NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2016 Evo, Salem, Sandstorm, Shockwave, Stealth, Wildwood, Cherokee Grey Wolf, Wildcat Maxx, Vibe, R-Pod, and Surveyor trailers. In the affected trailers, the studs that are used to attach the wheels to the axle hubs may break.
