What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (overloaded trailer) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2014-2016 Vengeance trailers, including models BVGF312A, BCKT24PACK14, BVGF315A11, BVGF316A, BVGF316A11, BVGF320A, BWZVGF312A, BWZVGF316A, and BWZVGF320A. The recall affects 273 vehicles.

The Federal Placard on these trailers may indicate an incorrect amount of water for units with the 100-gallon option. This error allows the trailer to be overloaded, which increases the risk of a crash. Consequently, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims-Other than Passenger Cars," and 567, "Certification."

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a new placard that reflects the 100-gallon tank free of charge. The recall began on October 13, 2020. Owners may contact Forest customer service at 1-260-499-2100 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
