Transport Canada recalls
01- Label#2014121
21 units affected
Certain travel trailers built with 5 lug axles may have been equipped with certification labels bearing incorrect information. The labels may indicate a Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of 1196 KG (4400 pounds) instead of 1950.5 KG (4300 pounds), and tire size and pressure as ST225/75R15/D and 448 KPA (65 PSI), instead of ST225/75R15/C and 345 KPA (50 PSI). This could lead to overloading and/or tire failure which, in turn, could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Updated labels will be mailed to owners of affected vehicles, along with installation instructions.

U.S. NHTSA recalls
01- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY#18V550000
Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Forest River Salem, Wildcat Maxx, Wildwood, Vibe, and Rainier recreational trailers. The break-away safety switch may not have been wired to a constant power source, and, as a result, the switch may be inadvertently disconnected from the trailer house battery causing the brakes to not engage if the trailer detaches from the tow vehicle.
Risk: If the trailer brakes cannot engage if the trailer detaches from tow vehicle, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Forest River will notify owners, and dealers will install a new wiring harness to reroute the wiring, free of charge. The recall began September 25, 2018. Owners may contact Forest River customer service at 1-503-831-5410. Forest River's number for this recall is 22/30-0824.
