Forest River federal Placard on these vehicles indicates a capacity of 5,000 lbs for each axle, however, each axle actually has a capacity of 4,000 lbs.
The short version
Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the other labels. Here is what owners need to know.
The Federal Placard on these vehicles indicates a capacity of 5,000 lbs for each axle, however, each axle actually has a capacity of 4,000 lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The incorrect information can cause the vehicle to be overloaded or result in axle failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Federal Placard with a corrected one, free of charge.
