NHTSA recall 21V745000
Equipment · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Salem and Wildwood fifth wheel trailers. The federal placard lists a gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) that exceeds the load carrying capacity of the pin box, which could result in an overloaded pin box.
Why it matters: An overloaded pin box can fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Forest river will mail owners a new federal placard, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 8, 2021.
