Canada2025–2026 East To West ALTA RV trailers by Forest River are affected; owners can recognize them by the model name ALTA and the 2025–2026 model years. They were recalled because the compliance label lists the wrong cargo-carrying capacity (CCC) and gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), which could allow overloading and lead to poor handling or a tire failure that may cause loss of control and a crash. Forest River will mail a new compliance label to owners, and dealers can install it free of charge if help is requested.
