NHTSA recall 17V445000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017 Rockwood travel trailers, models rlf8301ws and rlf8301ws-w. The affected vehicles have a federal placard with an incorrect ninth place check digit printed on the VIN label. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."
Why it matters: The incorrect check digit will hinder the registration of the vehicle, which can lead to improper licensing and the failure to properly account for the vehicle in the event of a safety recall.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and will provide a corrected federal placard, free of charge. The recall began on July 21, 2017.
