Problem Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017 XLR fifth-wheel recreational vehicles. These vehicles have a Federal Placard that identifies the vehicle as a "Travel Trailer" when the placard should state "Fifth-Wheel." Also, the VIN does not correspond to the type of vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification." Risk With the incorrect information, the operator may attempt to tow the vehicle incorrectly, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Forest River will notify owners, and will provide a new corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on February 22, 2017. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-0432. Forest River's number for this recall is 45-0132016-0312.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 45-0132016-0312 is the number Forest River assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 17V060000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
