Forest River is recalling 2014-2015 Vengeance vehicles because the gross vehicle weight rating on the certification label is incorrect, which could lead to vehicle overloading.

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 where the defect (incorrect weight labeling) can lead to vehicle overloading, tire failure, and crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Vengeance vehicles manufactured between December 20, 2013, and November 3, 2014. The recall involves 190 vehicles where the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is less than the vehicle's actual GVWR represented on its certification label. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

The incorrect labeling may confuse customers regarding the vehicle's actual GVWR and load-carrying capacity. Misinformation about load capacity can lead to vehicle overloading, which can cause a tire failure and crash.

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a new corrected certification label free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-219-533-5934 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
