Plain-English summary
Northwood Manufacturing, LLC is recalling certain model year 2013 Arctic Fox, Desert Fox, Fox Mountain, and Snow River trailers. The affected vehicles include the Arctic Fox 29-5K and 29-5T fifth wheel trailers, Desert Fox 29SB toy hauler trailers, Fox Mountain 235RLS and 285RLS fifth wheel trailers, and Snow River 266RDS travel trailers.
These vehicles were manufactured with incorrect information on the Federal Identification Tag, Tire and Axle Information Label, and the Trailer Weight Information Label. This non-compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120 could lead to improper vehicle loading specifications, which may cause axle failure and increase the risk of a crash.
Northwood will notify owners and provide corrected replacement labels free of charge. The company mailed the replacement labels on March 22, 2013. Owners may contact Northwood at 1-800-766-6274 for assistance.
