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." With the incorrect information, the operator may attempt to tow the vehicle incorrectly, increasing the risk of a crash.
