Summary derived from NHTSA notice
Reason for Recall
As stated by NHTSA
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Cherokee recreational trailers, model T19V, manufactured February 18, 2013, to August 14, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the Federal placard displays incorrect vehicle information. The original placard indicates that the tires on the vehicle are ST225/75R15D and the axle indicates a 5,200 lbs. capacity.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
