The affected vehicles may be equipped with Federal Certification Labels that incorrectly state the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) to be 13,000lbs. when the correct GVWR is 11,999lbs. As such, these trailers fail to conform to Part 567, "Certification."

Forest River will notify owners and will send corrected Federal Certification Labels, free of charge. The recall began on March 24, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-206-7600.
