NHTSA recall 26V439000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2026-2027 Wildwood and Salem travel trailers. The federal placard may have the incorrect gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 120, "wheels and rims - other than passenger cars."
Why it matters: Referencing the incorrect gvwr may lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install a new corrected label, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 22, 2026.
