Forest River XLR: Label

Affects Forest River XLR · 2015 — about 10 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain fifth wheel trailers, the certification label may not contain the correct Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The label incorrectly indicates a GVWR of 9525.5 kg (21,000 lb) instead of 8164.7 kg (18,000 lb). This could lead to vehicle overloading, which would result in poor vehicle handling characteristics, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation.
