What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a risk-of-harm product (incorrect weight labels leading to potential overload and crash) where no specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical risk.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 Wildcat travel trailers manufactured between January 1, 2010, and July 22, 2010. The recall involves 155 units where the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, Gross Axle Weight Rating, tire, rim, and air pressure information was incorrectly entered into the corporate computer system. Consequently, the Gross Axle Weight Rating label and the tire label on these vehicles are incorrect.

The incorrect labels may lead an owner to inadvertently overload the vehicle. An overload condition may result in an axle or tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash.

The safety recall began on August 9, 2010. Forest River will mail corrected labels to retail purchasers and/or dealers. Owners may contact Forest River at 1-574-206-7600 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
