743 units affected
Issue: On certain travel trailers, the U-bolts used to hold the spare tire carrier to the travel trailer may break. This could cause the tire and carrier to separate from the trailer. Safety Risk: A spare tire carrier that falls from the trailer could become a hazard for other road users and bystanders. This could create a risk of injury and/or a crash. Corrective Actions: Forest River will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your travel trailer to a dealer to replace the defective U-bolts. Forest River advises that you should remove the spare tire until the recall repairs have been completed.
- Suspension#2018529
3 units affected
On certain travel trailers, incorrect length axle shackles were installed that may allow the tires to contact the trailer floor or wheel well when the suspension is fully compressed. This could cause tire damage and may adversely affect vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install the correct length axle shackles to ensure sufficient tire clearance.
- Accessories#2018526
14 units affected
Certain travel trailers may have been manufactured without a carbon monoxide detector. In the event of elevated levels of carbon monoxide, there would be no alert to occupants, which would increase the risk of asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. Correction: Dealers will install a battery operated carbon monoxide detector.
