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.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 Vibe VCT6501, VCT6502, VCT6503, VCT6504, VCT6505, and VCT6506 travel trailers. These vehicles were manufactured between July 30, 2013, and April 4, 2014. The recall affects 164 units.

The Federal Certification Label on these vehicles contains incorrect tire and gross axle weight rating information. This non-conformity to Part 567, "Certification," means the label does not accurately reflect the vehicle's specifications. If the information printed on the label is incorrect, it may lead to the recreational vehicle being overloaded, resulting in tire failure which would increase the risk of a crash.

Forest River will notify owners and send them replacement Federal Certification and Tire Information labels with the correct information, free of charge. The recall began on June 9, 2014. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-260-593-0023 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
