Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 XLR XLT29HSF travel trailers manufactured between October 10, 2013, and April 16, 2014. The recall affects 152 vehicles. The defect involves the Federal Certification label, which incorrectly states the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) as 11,135 pounds instead of the correct 9,774 pounds, and the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) as 5,080 pounds instead of the correct 4,400 pounds. Consequently, the vehicles do not conform to Part 567, "Certification."
If a trailer is loaded to the specifications listed on the incorrect label, tire failure may result, increasing the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text.
