Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Coachmen Shasta SHT27RL travel trailers manufactured May 7, 2013, to May 7, 2015. The affected trailers may have an incorrect gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) information stated on the Federal Weight Tags. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Incorrect GVWR information on the label may lead the operator to load the trailer to an incorrect weight, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect label with a corrected label, free of charge. The recall began on June 23, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8717. Forest River's number for this recall is 53-05132015-0035.
