Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2017 Salem recreational trailers (model SMT186RB) manufactured between October 13-21, 2016 and 2017 Wildwood recreational trailers (model WDT186RB) manufactured between October 7-21, 2016. The Federal Placard Label and VIN plate on these trailers incorrectly state that the vehicles have two axles when they actually have only one axle, which could cause owners following the placard information to overload the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

Affected consumers should contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-534-1251 and reference recall number 6-10252016-0262.
