EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
NHTSA 20V041000- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020 Vengeance VGF311A13-WS-73 trailers. The Federal Placard has the incorrect axle rating, tire/wheel size, and tire PSI. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and rims-other than passenger cars" and Part 567, "Certification."
- The risk
- The incorrect Federal Placard may result in the operator unknowingly overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a loss of control, and the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will provide replacement placards that contain the accurate information, free of charge. The recall began January 30, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-260-499-2100. Forest River's number for this recall is 73-1131.

Checking your own RV
A recall applies to a range of VINs, not to every 2020 Forest River Vengeance built. To confirm whether yours is affected, find the 17-character VIN, on a plate near the entry door, inside a cabinet, or on the trailer tongue for a towable, and enter it in NHTSA's official lookup.
Repairs for safety recalls are free and never expire. A dealer cannot charge you, and cannot refuse on the grounds that the RV is old or out of warranty. If one does, call the NHTSA hotline on 1-888-327-4236.
