2022 Forest River R-pod: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 22V450000 · 205 units potentially affected · filed Jun 24, 2022
What's wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022 RPOD RPT153 travel trailers. The Federal Placard states an incorrect axle rating of 4400 lbs, instead of the correct rating of 3500 lbs, which can cause the vehicle to become overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Why it matters
An overloaded vehicle can cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.

Forest River will mail replacement labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 18, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-3119 Option 2. Forest River's number for this recall is 80-1525.
