Details

What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 Wildcat travel trailer models wct247rxx-or and wct276fkx-or. The safety chains do not meet the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) and could potentially break.

Why it matters: Safety chain breakage could cause the trailer to detach 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 correctly rated safety chains, free of charge. The recall began February 22, 2021.
