2018 FOREST RIVER PRIME TIME

  • Brand FOREST RIVER

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

What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2018 Forest River Prime Time recreational trailers, model WCF35MB, because the Federal Placard displays an incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) that results in an incorrect Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC), including a negative CCC value in pounds. This incorrect information may cause operators to exceed the vehicle's actual weight limits, potentially increasing crash risk. The vehicles do not comply with federal certification requirements under 49 CFR Part 567.

Forest River has notified owners and provided corrected Federal Placards at no charge, with the recall beginning May 3, 2018. Affected owners should contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-2589 and reference recall number 61-0704.
