Details

What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 Salem fifth wheel, Salem travel trailer, Wildwood fifth wheel, and Wildwood travel trailer vehicles. The red and amber clearance lamps do not reflect enough light. As such these vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and assoc. Equipment."

Why it matters: Less reflective clearance lamps can affect how other drivers judge the length of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will add reflex stickers to both the amber and red clearance lamps, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 11, 2021.
