Critical riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Shasta - Forest river. On certain travel trailers, the certification, tire and loading information labels do not contain correct tire load range and gross axle weight rating (GAWR) information. The labels incorrectly indicate a tire size of ST225/75R15D with a GAWR of 3500 lbs, while the trailers are fitted with ST225/75R15 tires allowing for a 3375 lbs GAWR. As a result, the vehicle may inadvertently be overloaded, which may lead to poor vehicle handling characteristics and potentially result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with instructions for proper installation. Published 2015-11-17.
