2017–2025 Coachmen Catalina, Forest River Aurora, Forest River Puma: Equipment recall

What's wrong

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017-2025 Coachmen Catalina, 2020-2025 Aurora, and 2025 Puma travel trailers. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) on the Federal placard may exceed the safety chain rating. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 110, "Tire Selection and Rims" and 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other Than Passenger Cars."

Why it matters

An incorrect weight rating may lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
