2011 Forest River Wildcat recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Forest river is recalling certain model year 2011 Wildcat travel trailers manufactured from january 1, 2010 through july 22, 2010. The information for the models' gross vehicle weight rating, gross axle weight rating, tires, rims, and air pressure was incorrectly inputted in the corporate computer system. As a result, the gross axle weight rating label and the tire label on the vehicles is incorrect and may lead an owner to inadvertently overload the vehicle.
💥 The risk
An overload condition may result in an axle or tire failure increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Forest river will be mailing corrected labels to retail purchasers, and/or to dealers. The safety recall began on august 9, 2010. Owners may contact forest river at 1-574-206-7600.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
