- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Prime Time Crusader trailers, model CSF370BHQ, manufactured August 26, 2014, to March 3, 2016.

- Remedy
- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for this recall is 49-04172016-0178.

What this recall means for you
The federal certification label on certain Prime Time Crusader trailers lists the cargo carrying capacity as 800 to 900 pounds, but the correct capacity is 2,700 to 2,800 pounds. Owners therefore do not have accurate information about how much weight the trailer can safely carry, which could lead to overloading if the label is relied on.
The affected trailers are the 2015, 2016, and 2017 model years, model CSF370BHQ, built between August 26, 2014 and March 3, 2016. The manufacturer, Forest River, has said the label does not meet federal certification requirements. Owners who have questions can call Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025 and refer to recall number 49-04172016-0178.
The remedy is free. Forest River will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install a corrected Federal Placard at no charge. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
