What's wrong?
The federal placard on a 2023-2024 Forest River Xlr Toyhauler is the weight label that tells an owner the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR. That rating is the maximum loaded weight the trailer is listed to carry, including cargo, fluids, and installed equipment. Owners and service shops use that label when deciding how much weight the trailer can safely handle.
On affected trailers, the placard lists a GVWR that is higher than the upper deck chassis rating. Forest River traced the issue to a clerical error on the federal placard, after Norco Engineering confirmed the upper deck is rated for 17,500 lbs. The physical repair is a corrected placard with the proper GVWR printed on it.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is in the printed rating, so an owner will not hear, feel, or see a mechanical symptom that proves the label is wrong.
Who's affected?
Both model years involve the same federal placard label issue.

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?
The incorrect GVWR label can lead an owner to load the trailer beyond its actual rating, increasing crash risk. There is no warning sign tied to the label error, so treat the posted weight rating as suspect until the corrected label is installed. Repair is free at any franchised Forest River dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2024 Forest River Xlr Toyhauler is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Forest River dealer to schedule the free corrected-label installation that fixes the incorrect GVWR listing.
- Bring the recall notice if Forest River has sent one. If not, reference recall number 26V390 and Forest River recall 79-2067 when you call.
- Avoid loading the trailer to the listed GVWR until the corrected label is installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Forest River technician installs a corrected weight label so the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating matches the upper deck chassis rating and the recall record. The label replacement and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid for a label correction tied to this recall, Forest River's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring the repair paperwork to the service desk when you arrive.
