NHTSA recall 17V484000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Salem and Wildwood recreational trailers. The federal placards on these vehicles may state an incorrect weight of the trailer. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."
Why it matters: An incorrect weight on the label may affect how the operator loads the vehicle, impacting the handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected federal placard with correct weight and cargo carrying capacity, free of charge. The recall began August 4, 2017.
