Details

What's wrong: The information for the models' gross vehicle weight rating, gross axle weight rating, tires, rims, and air pressure was incorrectly inputted in the corporate computer system. As a result, the gross axle weight rating label and the tire label on the vehicles is incorrect and may lead an owner to inadvertently overload the vehicle.

Why it matters: An overload condition may result in an axle or tire failure increasing 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 August 9, 2010.
