Defect description

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Vengeance vehicles manufactured December 20, 2013, to November 3, 2014. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is less than the vehicle's GVWR represented on its certification label. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Safety risk

A customer may be confused as to actual GVWR of the vehicle, as well as the vehicle's load carrying capacity. Misinformation as to load carrying capacity can lead to vehicle overloading that can cause a tire failure and crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a new corrected certification label, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-219-533-5934. Forest River's number for this recall is 17B-08032015-0069.
