Forest River, Inc.: Rockwood and Flagstaff Fifth Wheels Recalled for Incorrect Axle Rating

Agency Publication Date: August 26, 2022

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 6 of its 2023 Rockwood and Flagstaff fifth wheel trailers because the Federal Placard label incorrectly lists the axle rating as 5,200 lbs when it is actually only 5,000 lbs. This error could lead owners to unintentionally overload their trailer, which may cause a loss of vehicle control. Dealers will replace the incorrect Federal Placards with corrected ones free of charge.

Risk

If the vehicle is loaded based on the incorrect higher weight rating on the placard, the axles may become overloaded. This can lead to mechanical failure, loss of vehicle control, and an increased risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking the Federal Placard on your 2023 Forest River Rockwood or Flagstaff fifth wheel to see if it lists an axle rating of 5,200 lbs.
  2. If your vehicle has the incorrect 5,200 lbs rating, contact a Forest River dealer to schedule a free replacement of the Federal Placard.
  3. Use caution not to exceed a 5,000 lbs load per axle until the placard has been corrected and you have verified the proper weight limits.
