      Forest River recalls model year 2016-2018 Cardinal recreational trailers

      The federal placard contains incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating capacity information

      Forest River is recalling 17 model year 2016-2018 Cardinal recreational trailers, model CAF3250RL.

      The federal placard on the vehicles overstates the Gross Axle Weight Rating capacity (GAWR) by 840lbs. for each axle.

      As such, the vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

      Lupin Pharmaceuticals recalls Mibelas 24 Fe birth control pills

      The pills are packaged out of sequence

      Lupin Pharmaceuticals of Baltimore, Md., is recalling one lot of Mibelas 24 Fe birth control tablets.

      The following product, packaged in blister packs containing 28 tablets: 24 white to off-white tablets of active ingredients debossed with “LU” on one side and “N81” on the other; and 4 tablets of inert ingredients debossed with “LU” on one side and “M22” on the other side, is being recalled:

      Keystone RV Company is recalling 464 model year 2012-2018 Springdale RVs, model 303BH.

      The vehicle's federal identification tag overstates the Gross Axle Weight Rating capacity (GAWR) by 800lbs for each axle.

      As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

      The incorrect GAWR makes the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) label incorrect and may result in the vehicle being overloaded, affecting the vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

      What to do

      Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will provide a new Federal Placard with the correct GAWR and a new CCC label, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in June 2017.

      Owners may contact Keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369. Keystone's number for this recall is 17-289.
