Forest River installed safety chains may not meet the actual Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (gvwr) listed on the Federal Placard.
The short version
Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the other labels. Here is what owners need to know.
The installed safety chains may not meet the actual Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed on the Federal Placard. This can cause the chains to fail, allowing the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle.
Separation of the trailer and tow vehicle increases the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the safety chains, free of charge.
