Forest River is recalling 92 model year 2017 Salem recreational trailers, model SMT186RB, manufactured October 13, 2016 through October 21, 2016 and model year 2017 Wildwood recreational trailers, model WDT186RB, manufactured October 7, 2016, through October 21, 2016.
The federal placard label and the VIN incorrectly state that the vehicle has two axles; it has only one. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
If the owner follows the information on the federal placard label, the vehicle may be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
Forest River will notify owners and will provide a corrected certificate of origin, federal placard and VIN plate for each trailer, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on December 21, 2016.
Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-534-1251. Forest River's number for this recall is 6-10252016-0262.
