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 involves a risk-of-harm product (vehicle overloading leading to crash) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Cedar Creek Silver Back recreational vehicles manufactured between October 23, 2014, and July 2, 2015. The recall addresses a defect where the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) listed on the vehicle's certification label is less than the vehicle's actual GVWR. This discrepancy means the vehicles fail to comply with the certification requirements of 49 CFR Part 567.

Inaccurate weight information can mislead owners regarding the vehicle's weight-carrying capacity. This could result in vehicle overloading, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a new set of corrected certification labels free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-593-2417 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
