NHTSA recall 18V051000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Rockwood and Flagstaff, and Coachmen Freedom Express recreational trailers and 2017-2018 Palomino and XLR Toyhauler and Coachmen Viking recreational trailers equipped with a Smart-jack model power tongue jack. The laminated plastic touch pad on the jack may crack or separate allowing water to enter, potentially causing the jack to operate unintentionally.
Why it matters: If the tongue jack retracts or extends unexpectedly, there could be an increased risk of a crash or injury.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and a forest river or a lippert dealer will replace the power tongue jack, free of charge. The recall began on February 20, 2018. Rockwood and flagstaff
