Example complaints

Tires: “The contact owns a 2016 Forest River Vengeance equipped with lions head tires, tire line: vail sport radial, tire size: st235/80/r16 and DOT number nmnx0115. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the contact was notified of bubbles around the side wall of the tire. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that four tires on both sides of the rv had bubbles and needed to be replaced. All tires were replaced. The tire and the vehicles manufacturers were notified of the failure. The tire and vehicles failure mileages were 4,000.”

NHTSA complaint #10898911, filed 2016-08, 4,000 miles

Wheels: “The frame on the Vengeance 40d12 toy hauler has a support bracket located over the right rear tire. This bracket comes into contact with the tire when the camper travels over bumps and dips in the road. I have mentioned this on the Forest River forums website and it appears to be a problem others have with this model camper. The bracket chews away at the tire when this occurs and a tire failure is inevitable if the bracket is not removed or cut away. I submitted this to the Forest River warranty dept. On july 31, 2017 and I was told it would be forwarded to a warranty rep for review. …”
