Defect

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2017-2025 Coachmen Catalina, 2020-2025 Aurora, and 2025 Puma travel trailers. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) on the Federal placard may exceed the safety chain rating.

Consequence

An incorrect weight rating may lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
