2017 Prime Time Crusader recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Forest River Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017 Prime Time Manufacturing Crusader recreational trailers, model CSF338RSK. The Federal placard indicates that the trailers have axles that have a capacity of 7,000 lbs when their actual capacity is 6,000 lbs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

💥 The risk

Incorrect axle information on the placard can result in the trailer being overloaded, causing a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Forest River will notify owners and dealers will replace the Federal placard with a corrected placard, free of charge. The recall began on March 20, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for the recall is 49-02242017-0331.

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.)
