NHTSA recall 22V562000
Equipment, Structure · Forest River, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Salem and Wildwood fifth wheel travel trailers. The awning rail may not be attached to a backer in the sidewall, which can allow the awning to detach while the vehicle is in motion.
Why it matters: An awning that detaches increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect for backers and reattach the awning if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 8, 2022.
