Forest River, Inc. "Forest River" is recalling certain 2017 XLR fifth-wheel recreational vehicles. These vehicles have a Federal Placard that identifies the vehicle as a "Travel Trailer" when the placard should state "Fifth-Wheel." Also, the VIN does not correspond to the type of vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
With the incorrect information, the operator may attempt to tow the vehicle incorrectly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and will provide a new corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on February 22, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432. Forest River's number for this recall is 45-0132016-0312.
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.
