What this recall means for you
Certain trailers may have had the suspension shackle nuts insufficiently tightened during production. Over time, these loose nuts can come off the shackle bolt, which can cause the axle to detach from the trailer.
If the axle detaches, the trailer can become unstable or separate from the towing vehicle, greatly increasing the risk of a crash. Owners should take this recall seriously and not delay the repair.
The repair is free. Dealers will tighten the shackle nuts at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 24, 2021, and you can contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-642-3119 (recall number 77-1361). You can also check your trailer's VIN for open recalls.
