- The defect
- Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2022 RPOD RPT153 travel trailers. The Federal Placard states an incorrect axle rating of 4400 lbs, instead of the correct rating of 3500 lbs, which can cause the vehicle to become overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
- What it can cause
- An overloaded vehicle can cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Forest River will mail replacement labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 18, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-3119 Option 2. Forest River's number for this recall is 80-1525.
- 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.nhtsa.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 205 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 one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Forest River vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 161 times before this, most recently in April 2022 as 22V243000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V556000 (equipment), 22V486000 (equipment).
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 24, 2022 as campaign 22V450000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
