- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Rockwood trailers, model RLT2205S-W. The Federal Placard indicates an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
- What it can cause
- The incorrect Federal Placard may result in the operator unknowingly overloading the vehicle, causing loss of control, and increasing the risk of a crash.

- Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will provide replacement placards that contain the accurate information, free of charge. This recall began July 17, 2020. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-8943. Forest River's number for this recall is 10B-1185.

Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 74 vehicles this is a small campaign: 73% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 132 times before this, most recently in June 2020 as 20V360000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 19 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V243000 (equipment), 21V236000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Forest River, Inc. with NHTSA on June 26, 2020 as campaign 20V376000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
