Defect description

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Prime Time Crusader trailers, model CSF370BHQ, manufactured August 26, 2014, to March 3, 2016. The Federal Placard on the affected trailers incorrectly indicates the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) as 800-900 pounds, when the correct CCC is 2700 to 2800 pounds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Safety consequence

The vehicle operator does not have accurate information regarding the vehicle's Cargo Carrying Capacity as currently indicated on the Federal Placard.

Manufacturer remedy

Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for this recall is 49-04172016-0178.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

NOTICED THAT THE WALL BETWEEN KITCHEN SLIDE AND BEDROOM SLIDE WAS BOWED WAY OUT, AND THEN WE NOTICED THE FLOOR STARTED TO GET REAL SOFT, AND THE HOLDING TANKS LEAKED IN THE UNDER SIDE OF THE RV WE WOULDN'T OF NOTICED IF IT WASN'T FOR WATER DRIPPING FROM UNDER IT AND A REAL BUD SMELL INSIDE.

Incident: November 6, 2017 · Filed: February 13, 2018

5TH WHEEL TRAILER TIRE SPEC CALLS FOR ST235/80R16/E TIRES @ 80 PSI FOR A RATING OF 3520LBS/TIRE. TRAILER DELIVERED WITH ST225/75R15/D @ 80PSI FOR A RATING OF 2480 LBS/TIRE. IN ADDITION, ALUMINUM WHEELS SUPPLIED WITH WHEEL RATING OF ONLY 2150 LBS/EA. TRAILER GVWR 10121LBS. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER TO RESOLVE ISSUE. DOUBLE CHECKED FRAME AND TRAILER VIN NUMBERS FOR MISMATCH. TOOK PICTURES OF VIN NUMBERS, WHEEL/TIRES ON TRAILER AND SENT TO MANUFACTURER. TOOK COMPLAINT UP TO MANAGEMENT LEVEL ONLY TO RECEIVE RESPONSE OF "WE RESPECTFULLY DECLINE ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS CONCERN". THEY STATED TRAILER HAD CORRECT WHEELS AND TIRES WHEN IT LEFT THE FACTORY ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS TIRES SUPPLIED WITH TRAILER DO NOT MEET FACTORY SPECS, WHEELS SUPPLIED DO NOT EVEN MEET WEIGHT/INFLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TIRES. I FEEL THIS SITUATION IS A DANGEROUS COMBINATION AND CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL WHEELS AND TIRES ARE REPLACED. IF MANUFACTURER DID SUPPLY CORRECT WHEELS/TIRES, THE DEALER SELLING THE TRAILER MUST HAVE SWAPPED THEM OUT BUT NOBODY WILLING TO CONFRONT THE ISSUE. THIS SITUATION WAS ONLY DISCOVERED WHEN LOOKING TO REPLACE THE FACTORY RUBBER WITH QUALITY TIRES DUE TO MANY COMPLAINTS OF TIRE FAILURES WITH FACTORY RUBBER. WE PURCHASED THE TRAILER FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER JULY 2017 WHO STATED WHEELS AND TIRES ARE ORIGINAL AND SUPPLIED PICTURE OF TRAILER HOOKED TO VEHICLE AS IT WAS PULLED OFF THE LOT AFTER PURCHASE (ORIG OWNER WILLING TO TESTIFY UNDER OATH IF NECESSARY). ALL OF THIS PROVIDED TO MANUFACTURER DURING PERIOD OF TRYING TO RECTIFY SITUATION. I HOPED TO RESOLVE WITH MANUFACTURER BUT NO LUCK. I OFFERED TO REPLACE RUBBER MYSELF IF THEY WOULD SUPPLY CORRECT WHEELS. I FEEL THIS SITUATION IS DANGEROUS ENOUGH THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED. IF IT HAPPENED TO ME, PROBABLY HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS. *BF *TR
