Forest River is recalling seven model year 2017 Rockwood and Flagstaff RVs.
The federal placard may contain an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of 2,200 lbs when the correct GAWR actually is 3,000 lbs.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Inaccurate GAWR information on the Federal placard can increase the risk of a crash.
What to do

Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-2640. Forest River's number for this recall is 10-04042017-0366.
