Details

What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Salem and Wildwood t174bh recreational vehicles manufactured September 18, 2013, to August 29, 2014. The affected vehicles may have an incorrect gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) on the certification and tire information labels. As such, the vehicles do not conform to part 567, "certification."

Why it matters: If the trailer is loaded to the specifications listed on the label, tire failure may result, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and will provide corrected labels to the owners, free of charge. The recall began on November 11, 2014.
