Summary:
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.

Consequence:
The incorrect GAWR may cause the vehicle to be overloaded and the axle to fail, increasing the risk of a crash. |
