The contact owns a 2017 forest river cardinal. The contact stated that since owning the trailer, he has had to replace all four tires a total of 11 times due to tire blowouts. While driving 55 mph, the contact heard an abnormal sound coming from the trailer. The contact pulled over and upon inspection of the trailer he noticed a blowout of the rear driver's side tire. Upon replacing the tire, the contact discovered significant undercarriage damage because of the failure. The contact stated that the shackles installed on the trailer had underperformed and had linked the defective shackles to the recurring tire failures. The contact reached out to the manufacturer however, no assistance was provided. The rv was not repaired. The failure mileage was 4,000. The vin was not available.*dt

After purchasing i realized that the federal data placard on the rv lists the gross axle weight ratings as 6818 lbs.this is impossible because the two axles on this rv are 6,000 lb axles.because the placard has listed the two axles at a total of 1636 lbs too much, they have, in turn listed the gross vehicle weight rating at 15,888, which is 1636 too heavy a rating.the placard should list the axles as 6,000 gawr.the tongue weight of the rv is 2252 lbs.so, if they would have listed the axles at the correct 12,000 lbs and added that weight to the tongue weight the gvwr would have been 14,252.i have seen other forest river cardinal rv's at the lazy days, tampa dealership with the same errors.some unsuspecting buyer might, some day have an accident due to overloading his/her rv because of the inaccurate gvwr on these rv's.there needs to be a recall and reissuing of federal placards for these rv's being sent out from forest river.
