Forest River, Inc. "Forest River" is recalling certain 2018 Prime Time recreational trailers, models WCF32WB, WCF34WB, and WCF37WB. The Gross Axle Weight Rating "GAWR" on the Federal Placard is listed as 6,160lbs when the axle is only rated for 6,000lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The incorrect GAWR may cause the vehicle to be overloaded and the axle to fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect Federal Placard and Cargo Carrying Capacity label, free of charge. The recall began on September 8, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432. Forest River's number for this recall is 61-0506.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
