The defect
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Alta travel trailers. The Federal Placard label may have the incorrect axle capacity listed, causing the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) to have been miscalculated. As such these vehicles fail to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
The risk
Referencing the incorrect GVWR and CCC may allow the vehicle to be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the label, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 19, 2025. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-264-6664. Forest River's number for this recall is 501-1994.
