Forest River, Inc. "Forest River" is recalling certain model year 2015 and 2016 Rockport vehicles, models RPAF1466N, RPAF14FX and RPGSA92-12, manufactured from January 30, 2015, through February 24, 2015. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured without a tire pressure monitoring system "TPMS". As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
Without the TPMS, the driver would not be alerted one or more of the vehicle's tires is under-inflated. An under-inflated tire may result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Because the manufacturer of the chassis is General Motors LLC "GM", GM will notify owners, and GM dealers will install the correct hardware and software for the TPMS, free of charge. The recall began on May 9, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River at 1-574-295-1022 or GM customer service at 1-800-462-8782.
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.
