WHEELS
- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020-2021 XLR Boost Toy Hauler recreational vehicles. The Federal Placard and Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) label may state a lower weight than the actual weight. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims-Other Than Passenger Cars."
- What it can cause
- An inaccurate weight on the Federal Placard can cause the vehicle to be overloaded, possibly causing damage to the tires and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Forest River will notify owners and will provide a new Federal Placard and replace any damaged tires, free of charge. The recall began January 8, 2021. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432. Forest River's number for this recall is 79-1257.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
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 200 vehicles this is a small campaign: 61% 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 wheels 4 times before this, most recently in October 2017 as 17V635000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 11 complaints with NHTSA. 1 of those name the wheels, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 25V727000 (equipment), 22V243000 (equipment), 21V830000 (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 December 10, 2020 as campaign 20V767000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
