What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2023 East to West Della Terra, and Silver Lake travel trailers. The drawbar assembly containing the A-frame and safety chains, may be insufficient for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and could potentially break.

The risk

Broken safety chains can allow the trailer to detach from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will replace the drawbar assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 6, 2023. Owners may contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-574-264-6664. Forest River's number for this recall is 508-1617.

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.
