(forest river) is recalling certain 2016-2018 cardinal recreational trailers, model caf3250rl. the federal placard on these vehicles overstates the gross axle weight rating capacity (gawr) by 840lbs. for each axle. as such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 cfr part 567, "certification."
