Reported: 2016-04-22 (April 22, 2016)
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Prime Time Crusader trailers, model CSF370BHQ, manufactured August 26, 2014, to March 3, 2016.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
Consequence: The vehicle operator does not have accurate information regarding the vehicle's Cargo Carrying Capacity as currently indicated on the Federal Placard.
Remedy: Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a corrected Federal Placard, free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2016. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for this recall is 49-04172016-0178.
