Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Forest River, Inc. is recalling 26 of its 2025 Catalina CAT243RBSLE travel trailers because the Federal Placard labels contain an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Because the label provides inaccurate weight limits, owners may unknowingly overload their trailers, which can lead to equipment failure or loss of control. To fix this, dealers will provide and install corrected labels for all affected vehicles free of charge.

Risk

Relying on an incorrect weight rating label can lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle's axles. This excessive weight increases the risk of tire failure or a vehicle crash.
