NHTSA recall 17V172000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
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."
Why it matters: The incorrect information can cause the vehicle to be overloaded or result in axle failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: 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.
