Forest River Recalls 2019 Palomino Campers Due to Incorrect Weight Label

Forest River is recalling 2019 Palomino hardside truck campers because the Federal Placard lists an incorrect dry weight, which may result in the vehicle being overloaded.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a minor labeling error (incorrect weight placard) that creates a risk of vehicle overload and reduced handling, but no injuries or crashes have been reported.
