Forest River federal Placard on these vehicles incorrectly lists the Gross Axle Weight Rating capacity (gawr) being 5,080 lbs, when the axles actually have a capacity of 4,400 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 incorrectly lists the Gross Axle Weight Rating capacity (GAWR) being 5,080 lbs, when the axles actually have a capacity of 4,400 lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The incorrect GAWR may result in the vehicle being overloaded, causing a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will provide a new Federal Placard with the correct GAWR, free of charge.
