The problem
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2014 Vibe VCT6501, VCT6502, VCT6503, VCT6504, VCT6505 and VCT6506 travel trailers manufactured July 30, 2013, through April 4, 2014. The Federal Certification Label has incorrect tire and gross axle weight rating information listed. As such, the vehicles do not conform to Part 567, "Certification."
The risk
If the information printed on the label is incorrect, it may lead to the recreational vehicle being overloaded, resulting in tire failure which would increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Forest River will notify owners and send them replacement Federal Certification and Tire Information labels with the correct information, free of charge. The recall began on June 9, 2014. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-260-593-0023.
