What's wrong?
The certification and tire information labels on 2014-2015 Forest River Salem and Wildwood recreational vehicles are supposed to give the owner the correct Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR. GVWR is the maximum loaded weight the trailer is rated to carry, including the trailer itself, cargo, fluids, and installed equipment. Owners and service shops use that label when setting up loads and checking that the trailer stays within its rated limit.
On affected trailers, the GVWR printed on the labels is incorrect. The label problem does not mean a frame, axle, or tire has already broken. It means the trailer left the factory with weight information that does not match the certified rating, so the owner does not have the correct number for loading decisions.
This recall does not describe a mechanical part that gives a symptom while driving. There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is found by checking the certification and tire information labels against the corrected Forest River recall information.
Who's affected?
Spans Salem and Wildwood trailers across the 2014 and 2015 model years, all tied to the same vehicle label placard issue.
| 2014 Forest River Salem | vehicle label (placard or certification) |

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Loading the trailer to the incorrect label specifications can overload the tires. Tire failure increases the risk of a crash. Use caution with load limits until the corrected label is installed, and ask the dealer which tire and weight information applies to your trailer. Repair will be free at any franchised Forest River dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2015 Forest River Salem or Wildwood is included in this recall.
- Watch for Forest River's owner notice about corrected certification and tire information labels; notices were mailed November 11, 2014.
- Call Forest River customer service at 1-800-353-7383 to request the free corrected labels that fix the incorrect GVWR listing.
- Reference recall number 14V625 and Forest River recall 2014-PLT6 when you call.
- Use the corrected GVWR before loading the trailer, because loading from the incorrect label increases tire-failure risk.
What happens at the repair
The remedy for this label recall is corrected certification and tire information labels, not a parts replacement. Forest River provides the corrected labels to owners at no charge so the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating shown on the vehicle matches the recall correction. The recall began on November 11, 2014. The filing does not list a current dealer repair status, so confirm the label correction before using the weight rating for loading, towing, or tire information decisions. Parts and labor are covered if dealer help is needed for the recall correction.
