NHTSA recall 18V270000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Forest River Prime Time recreational trailers, model wcf35mb. The federal placard states an incorrect gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) which incorrectly calculated an incorrect cargo carrying capacity (ccc) to indicate a negative ccc in pounds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."
Why it matters: The incorrect information may cause the operator to exceed the ccc and gvwr of the vehicle, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river has notified owners and provided federal placards with corrected information, free of charge. The recall began on May 3, 2018.
