I purchased a MicroLite 2515s in January. However, one of my internal TPMS died on the front passenger tire. I received a replacement sensor from TST and had it installed today. When the tire tech dismounted the tire from the rim, he found sections of the metal band that holds the sensor, loose inside the tire. Multiple pieces of metal, sharp edges, sharp corners falling around the inside of the tire. Whoever installed the sensors at Forest River cut the band and left the scraps inside the tire. This is a huge safety issue for my family and other drivers on the road when those metal pieces shred the inside of the tire. Clearly, the installer either did this on purpose, or was just negligent in their job. Maybe a one off mistake, but no. I checked the other tires and two more have metal scraps inside the tire. I can hear the pieces falling around inside the tire when I spin the wheels. So, out of four tires, three contain metal fragments. This is a huge safety issue and Forest River is responsible for this screw up. I have photos and video of the pieces inside the tires. This problem has been documented since 2020 with complaints and photos. Here's a link to a RV forum from 2020 [XXX] Clearly, Forest River is negligent for this continued practice and it remains unexplained how and why this keeps happening to their product.
