Forest River gross Axle Weight Rating (gawr) on the Federal Placard is listed as 6,160lbs when the axle is only rated for 6,000lbs.
The short version
Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the other labels. Here is what owners need to know.
The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) on the Federal Placard is listed as 6,160lbs when the axle is only rated for 6,000lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The incorrect GAWR may cause the vehicle to be overloaded and the axle to fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect Federal Placard and Cargo Carrying Capacity label, free of charge.
