What this recall means for you
Certain 2021 recreational trailers have a tail light mounted too close to the water heater exhaust. Over time, the heat can distort the light lens, and the light may stop working altogether.
A distorted or inoperative tail light makes the trailer harder for other drivers to see, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should treat this as a safety issue and have the trailer inspected.
The remedy is free. Authorized dealers will replace the tail light with a flush-mount tail light at no charge. Owners were notified by letter starting August 18, 2021, and can contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-862-1025 for help. Also check your trailer's VIN for any open recalls.
