The short version

Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the other labels. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The affected vehicles may be equipped with an incorrect Federal Placard that does not indicate that the vehicle has a third axle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

WHY IT MATTERS

If the Federal Placard is missing the correct axle information, the operator may overload the trailer, causing a loss of a vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge.
