What this recall means for you
Certain East to West Alta travel trailers from 2022 and 2023 have side marker lights that may not reflect light as intended. This means the trailer can be less visible to other drivers, and the vehicle does not meet federal lighting safety requirements (FMVSS 108).
Reduced visibility to other drivers can increase the risk of a crash. If you own an affected trailer, the repair is free. Authorized dealers will install reflective stickers at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed November 30, 2022. You can also contact Forest River customer service at 1-574-264-6664 and reference recall number 501-1571.
To check whether your trailer has any open recalls, look up your VIN with the manufacturer or through the NHTSA recall lookup tool, and schedule the free repair with an authorized dealer.
