NHTSA recall 18V628000
Suspension · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2019 Forest River East To West travel trailers, model 27kns. Incorrect axle shackles may have been installed on these vehicles, allowing the tires to contact the floor or wheel well while moving.
Why it matters: If the tires contact a part of the trailer, they may be damaged and fail, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will install a taller equalizer to the suspension to add length to the shackle, free of charge. The recall began October 10, 2018.
