What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2014 XLR XLT29HSF travel trailers manufactured between October 10, 2013, and April 16, 2014.

The label incorrectly states the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating as 11,135 pounds when it should be 9,774 pounds, and incorrectly lists the Gross Axle Weight Rating as 5,080 pounds when it should be 4,400 pounds. If owners load their trailers according to these incorrect specifications, tire failure and crashes may result.

To remedy the issue, Forest River will notify affected owners and provide a corrected certification label at no charge. The recall began on May 23, 2014. Owners of affected trailers should contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-353-7383.
