What this recall means for you
Some 2019-2020 Forest River Flagstaff and Arctic Wolf trailers with MORyde Orbital or You Turn Rubber Pin Box Wedge Kits may have pin box bolts that are 1-3/4 inches long instead of the required 2 inches. The shorter bolts can allow the rotating pin box to move in two places, which increases the risk of a crash.
Forest River will notify owners. Dealers will inspect the bolts and replace them as needed at no cost to you. Owners can contact MORyde customer service at 1-574-293-1581, or Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-8954 for Flagstaff or 1-260-499-2100 for Cherokee.
