NHTSA recall 20V049000
Service Brakes, Electric · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2020 Freedom Express, Salem, Stealth Evo, Vibe, Wildcat Maxx, and Wildwood recreational trailers. The emergency break-away switch may fail.
Why it matters: In the event of trailer separation from the tow vehicle, a failed break-away switch will not apply the trailer's brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will notify owners, and dealers will replace the break-away switch, free of charge. The recall began February 19, 2020.
