NHTSA recall 09V148000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: These trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." Due to faulty scales in the production facility, the label for the cargo carrying capacity values is incorrect.
Why it matters: Failure to follow proper vehicle loading specifications or misprint label could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will be mailing corrected labels to retail purchasers, and/or to dealers. The safety recall began on April 15, 2009.
