  • Brand FOREST RIVER

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2014-2016 Vengeance trailers with model numbers VGF377V, VGF378V, VGF394V13, VGF396V, BWZVGF377V, BWZVGF394V13, BWZVGF378V, and BWZVGF396V because the certification labels on these trailers display an incorrect gross vehicle weight rating. The labels state the GVWR is 18,500 pounds when the actual GVWR is 18,000 pounds. This discrepancy could lead vehicle operators to overload their trailers, which increases the risk of a crash.

To remedy the issue, Forest River will notify owners and dealers will install a new corrected label at no cost. Owners of affected trailers should contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-593-4005 and reference recall number 17B-05132015-0036.
