Shasta recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015 Shasta Airflyte SAT16 and SAT19 recreational travel trailers manufactured September 15, 2014, to October 22, 2014. The affected trailers have a Federal Certification Label that incorrectly lists the tire size, gross axle weight rating (GAWR), gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and cargo carrying capacity. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
What could happen
If the operator overloads the trailer due to the incorrect information on the Certification label, the tires may fail suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected label, free of charge. The recall began on July 9, 2015. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-825-8717. Forest River's number for this recall is 54-06052015-0047.
