2013 FOREST RIVER CHEROKEE; 2014 FOREST RIVER CHEROKEE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2013-2014 Cherokee recreational trailers (model T19V) manufactured between February 18, 2013, and August 14, 2013, because the Federal placard on these vehicles displays incorrect tire, rim, and weight capacity information. The placard incorrectly indicates ST225/75R15D tires and a 5,200-pound axle capacity, when the vehicles were actually built with ST205/75R15C tires and a 3,500-pound axle. Owners who rely on the incorrect placard information may unknowingly overload their trailer, which could cause tire or axle failure and increase the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners and provide a corrected placard at no charge. Affected owners should contact Forest River customer service at 1-800-453-6064 and reference campaign number 17A-10082015-0094 to receive the corrected placard.

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Cherokee recreational trailers, model T19V, manufactured February 18, 2013, to August 14, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the Federal placard displays incorrect vehicle information. The original placard indicates that the tires on the vehicle are ST225/75R15D and the axle indicates a 5,200 lbs. capacity. However, the vehicle was built with a 3,500 lbs. axle and ST205/75R15C tires, which results in a decrease in the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
