Only a $5M fine for now with up to $30M more if the independent auditor finds any future offenses.

I can definitely see how not reporting safety defects that might hurt sales or cause a recall would help with the bottom line....

Sorry, I meant a revenue generator for the .gov.. "we need to up our fine ability by 1000%"..

Looks like it was for Rockwood, Flagstaff and Palomino brands:

I assume the independent auditor will be looking at all Forest River brands.

In an article from WNDU TV (a NBC affiliate in South Bend, In) Forest River has been hit with a $5-million fine for violating requirements to report safety defects and other critical information to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and could face fines as high as $35M.
