What this recall means for you
The certification placard on certain trailers lists an incorrect axle rating, tire and wheel size, and tire pressure. Because the information is wrong, an operator could unknowingly load the trailer beyond its safe limits, which increases the risk of losing control and of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and authorized dealers will provide replacement placards with the accurate information at no charge. Owners can also contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-499-2100 and reference recall number 73-1131.
Until you have the corrected placard, check your trailer's axle, tire, and wheel specifications against the owner's manual and avoid loading it beyond what the correct specifications allow. You can also check your VIN for any open recalls.
