Details

What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017 Rockwood and Flagstaff recreational vehicles. The federal placard may indicate an incorrect gross axle weight rating (gawr) of 2,200 lbs when the correct gawr actually is 3,000 lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."

Why it matters: Inaccurate gawr information on the federal placard can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Forest river will notify owner's, and dealers will install a corrected federal placard, free of charge. The recall began on April 21, 2017. Owner's may contact forest river customer service at 1-574-642-2640. Forest river's number for this recall is 10-04042017-0366.
