NHTSA recall 18V134000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Forest River XLR Toyhauler recreational trailers, models xlt25kw, xlt25kw-w, xlt28kw and xlt28kw-w. The safety chains on these vehicles do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) of the trailer.
Why it matters: If the trailer becomes uncoupled, the existing safety chains may fail, allowing the trailer to separate from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will replace the safety chains with chains that exceed the vehicle's gvwr, free of charge. The recall began on March 13, 2018.
