On the first trip out, We had a tire blowout. There was no warning on the TPMS, and the tire tread peeled like a retread. It caused major damage to the rv slide out, and threw tire tread across the highway putting other motorists at risk. Forest River refused to cover any of the damage. The tire manufacturer covered less than 30% of the cost of a new tire. After the repairs, we made another trip. This time we had two more blowouts. This damaged the other side of the rv and also took out all of the brake wiring, leaving us with no brakes on the rv. One tire blew across the entire tire from …
The contact owns a 2021 Forest River Cedar Creek. The contact stated that he noticed that the spare tire under the vehicle was missing. The contact stated that he replaced the spare tire however, the contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, he noticed that the spare tire was shaking. Upon inspecting the vehicle, he noticed that the spare tire was loose and hanging, and the carrier winch was also loosened. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The automatic awning did not have proper backing plates installed, so the first time going out caused the awning to collapse completely against the full glass wall.

The front entry (only) door for entering the RV and existing safely was not mounted correctly, so the owners (occupants) were locked inside during the daytime hours when the door expanded with sun/heat. The owner is disabled and was oftentimes locked inside. …

Some how the hydraulic system was applying pressure by itself while towing .I first tried disconnecting electrical power to the hydraulic system and keeping the jack legs up with a 400 lb rated ratchet strap and the legs would still come down on its own with enough pressure to break the 400 lb rated strap. I was finally able to keep the leg secured up with 2 x 600 lb …
