What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2021 Prime Time Tracer TRT26KSS travel trailers. The tail light may be located too close to the water heater exhaust, which can cause the tail light lens to melt and the light to become inoperative.

The risk

A distorted or inoperative tail light may reduce vehicle visibility and confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will install a flush mount tail light, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 26, 2022. Owners may contact Forest River's customer service at 1-574-862-1025. Forest River's number for this recall is 48-1541.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
