What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2015-2016 Cedar Creek Silver Back recreational vehicle is the weight label mounted on the trailer. It tells an owner and service shop the gross vehicle weight rating, or GVWR, which is the maximum loaded weight the trailer is certified to carry. That number is used when loading cargo, checking tire and axle limits, and matching the trailer to a tow vehicle.
On affected Silver Back trailers, the GVWR shown on the certification label does not match the vehicle's correct rating. The trailer's actual GVWR is lower than the rating printed on the label. That means the label overstates how much loaded weight the trailer is certified to carry.
There is no warning sign before failure because this recall is about an incorrect label, not a broken part you can hear, smell, or feel. An owner looking only at the label can miss the problem until the VIN is checked or the label is replaced.
Who's affected?
Covers 2 model years of Silver Back trailers with the same vehicle label issue.
| 2015 Cedar Creek Silver Back | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2016 Cedar Creek Silver Back | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 91 |
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?
Inaccurate weight labels can make the Silver Back's carrying capacity look higher or unclear, leading an owner to overload the trailer. Overloading raises crash risk because the vehicle is beyond its certified weight limits. Until the label is corrected, verify loading carefully. Repair will be free at any franchised Cedar Creek dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2016 Cedar Creek Silver Back is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Cedar Creek dealer to ask about the free corrected certification labels that fix the inaccurate GVWR information.
- Bring the recall notice if Cedar Creek mailed one, or reference recall number 15V484 when you call.
- Avoid loading the trailer based only on the incorrect label until the corrected certification labels are installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Cedar Creek technician installs a new set of corrected certification labels for the Silver Back RV. The corrected labels address the gross vehicle weight rating information on the vehicle certification label. The recall notice says this label replacement is free of charge. The current filing does not give an active repair status, so confirm scheduling with a Cedar Creek dealer before arranging service. The dealer repair will be free once available.
