What's wrong?
The labels on a 2011 Forest River Wildcat travel trailer are supposed to tell an owner the trailer's weight and tire limits. Those labels include gross vehicle weight rating, gross axle weight rating, tire size, rim information, and correct air pressure, which are the numbers used when loading cargo and setting tire pressure before a trip.
In this recall, those values were entered incorrectly in Forest River's corporate computer system. That bad data flowed to the gross axle weight rating label and the tire label on the trailer, so the printed information on affected Wildcats does not match the trailer's correct limits. If an owner follows the incorrect label, the trailer can be loaded beyond its rated capacity.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is in the printed label information, so the trailer has no obvious mechanical symptom that tells an owner the rating information is wrong.

What's the safety risk?
An overload condition can lead to axle or tire failure and increase the risk of a crash. If your VIN is included, avoid hauling near the trailer's weight limit until the corrected label information is handled. Repair will be free at any franchised Forest River dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2011 Forest River Wildcat is included in this recall.
- Watch for the corrected Forest River weight and tire labels mailed to owners and dealers.
- Call Forest River at 1-574-206-7600 if the corrected labels did not arrive, and reference recall number 10V355.
- Install the corrected gross axle weight, tire, rim, and air-pressure labels so the trailer is not loaded using incorrect information.
- Avoid towing the trailer overloaded until the corrected labels are in place.
What happens at the repair
Forest River's filed remedy is to provide corrected gross axle weight rating and tire labels for the affected 2011 Wildcat travel trailers. The safety recall began on August 9, 2010. If dealer handling is needed, a Forest River dealer applies the corrected labels so the trailer shows the right axle rating, tire, rim, and air pressure information. The dealer repair will be free once available. The remedy text does not give a repair time, so ask the service desk how long label replacement takes when you schedule.
