17V235000
What was wrong
Defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017 Rockwood and Flagstaff recreational vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Risk
Inaccurate GAWR information on the Federal placard can increase the risk of a crash.
