What NHTSA recorded

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 Wildcat recreational vehicles manufactured October 25, 2013, through January 24, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the Federal Certification Tag incorrectly states that the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is 15,500 pounds instead of the correct GVWR of 12,330 pounds. As such, the vehicle does not conform to Part 567, "Certification."

Possible consequence

As a result, the trailer may be loaded beyond the specified weight rating which may cause a tire or suspension failure leading to poor vehicle handling and an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a new certification label with the correct information. The recall began on April 9, 2014. Customers may contact Forest River Wildcat Customer Service and Warranty Department at 1-574-206-7600.
