NHTSA recall 17V514000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Prime Time recreational trailers, models wcf32wb, wcf34wb, and wcf37wb. The gross axle weight rating (gawr) on the federal placard is listed as 6,160lbs when the axle is only rated for 6,000lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."
Why it matters: The incorrect gawr may cause the vehicle to be overloaded and the axle to fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect federal placard and cargo carrying capacity label, free of charge. The recall began on September 8, 2017.
