Forest River Recalls 2017 Prime Time Crusader Trailers for Placard Error

Plain-English summary
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Prime Time Manufacturing Crusader recreational trailers, model CSF338RSK. The recall involves 11 units. The Federal placard on these trailers indicates that the axles have a capacity of 7,000 lbs, but their actual capacity is 6,000 lbs.
