Details
What's wrong: Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2016-2017 ameralite cargo trailers. The welded trailer drawbars may be insufficient for the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr), which can cause the drawbars to fracture.
Why it matters: Fractured drawbars can cause a loss of trailer control and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the drawbars, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 1, 2023.
