What this recall means for you
Certain 2020 motorhomes had trailer hitch bolts that may have been improperly tightened during modification, so the bolts can loosen over time.
If the hitch bolts loosen, a towed trailer or vehicle could detach from the motorhome while driving, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should watch for signs of a loose hitch and stop driving if the hitch feels unstable.
The repair is free. Forest River dealers will properly tighten the hitch bolts at no charge, and Forest River will notify affected owners. You can also contact MORryde International customer service at 1-574-293-1581, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
