NHTSA recall campaign
16V846000
What was wrong
Defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2017 XLR recreational trailers, models XLF413AMP, XLF422AMP, WZXLF422AMP and XLF380AMP, manufactured September 29, 2016, to November 8, 2016. The affected vehicles may be equipped with an incorrect Federal Placard that does not indicate that the vehicle has a third axle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Risk
If the Federal Placard is missing the correct axle information, the operator may overload the trailer, causing a loss of a vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on December 1, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432. Forest River's number for this recall is 45-11122016-0272.
