Forest River Wildcat Extra Lite: Label

Affects Forest River Wildcat Extra Lite · 2015 — about 7 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 13 000 lbs (5897 kg) instead of 11 999 lbs (5443 kg). 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.
