NHTSA recall 14V712000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain model year 2015 Salem ice cabin trailers manufactured October 10, 2014, to October 28, 2014, and certain model year 2015 Wildwood ice cabin trailers manufactured October 10, 2014, to October 22, 2014. Due to insufficient thickness, the lippert components-brand draw bar of the affected trailers may break.
Why it matters: If the draw bar breaks, the front of the trailer may fall or the trailer may detach from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river has notified the dealers who have the affected trailers quarantined on their lots. Lippert components personnel will reinforce the draw tube, free of charge. The recall began on November 17, 2014.
