The problem
Erwin Hymer Group USA LP dba American Fastbacks (American Fastbacks) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Badlands, Force Recon, Stryker, and Defcon models of modified-Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles may be between 400 and 600 pounds above the allowable Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) due to the replacement parts that were installed on the vehicle which increased the overall weight.
The risk
The excessive weight can negatively impact the vehicle stability, increasing the risk of crash.
The fix
American Fastbacks has notified owners, and the manufacturer will repurchase the vehicles from owners. The recall began April 18, 2019. Owners may contact Erwin Hymer customer service at 1-844-533-7997 extension 301.
