Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Coachmen Shasta SHT27RL travel trailers manufactured between May 7, 2013, and May 7, 2015. The affected vehicles may have incorrect gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) information stated on the Federal Weight Tags, which fails to comply with 49 CFR Part 567 certification requirements.

Incorrect GVWR information on the label may lead the operator to load the trailer to an incorrect weight, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect label with a corrected label free of charge. The recall began on June 23, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8717 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
