What this recall means for you
Certain 2015 and 2016 Cedar Creek Silver Back recreational vehicles, built between October 23, 2014 and July 2, 2015, have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) lower than the rating shown on the vehicle's certification label. Because the label overstates how much the vehicle can safely carry, owners may load it beyond its true capacity without realizing it.
Overloading a recreational vehicle can lead to a crash. If you own one of the affected vehicles, the manufacturer will notify you, and an authorized dealer will install a corrected set of certification labels at no cost.
You can contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-593-2417 with questions about this recall, referencing recall number 20-07282015-0066. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls as well.
