Forest River is recalling 74 model year 2020-2021 Rockwood trailers, model RLT2205S-W.

The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GWAR) listed on the federal placard is incorrect.

An incorrect GWAR may result in the operator unknowingly overloading the vehicle, causing loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will provide replacement placards that contain the accurate information free of charge.

This recall is expected to begin August 5, 2020.

Owners may contact Forest River customer service at (574) 642-8943. Forest River's number for this recall is 10B-1185.
