NHTSA recall 15V480000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Sandpiper and Sierra recreational vehicles manufactured October 15, 2013, to July 13, 2015. The affected vehicles may be equipped with certification labels with an inaccurate gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr). Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standards (fmvss) no. 567, "certification."
Why it matters: Inaccurate weight information can mislead an owner as to the vehicle's weight carrying capacity which could result in vehicle overloading and a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will install a new set of corrected certification labels, free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2015.
