Issued by Forest River, Inc. · Reported Mar 14, 2017 · 35 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017 Flagstaff and Rockwood recreational trailers. The Federal Placard on these vehicles indicates a capacity of 5,000 lbs for each axle, however, each axle actually has a capacity of 4,000 lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Consequence

The incorrect information can cause the vehicle to be overloaded or result in axle failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Federal Placard with a corrected one, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-2640. Forest River's number for this recall is 10C-03082017-0341.
