What this recall means for you
The safety chains on certain travel trailers may not be rated for the trailer's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating shown on the federal placard. If the chains are insufficient, the trailer can detach from the towing vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.
All affected trailers are still in dealer inventory, so no owner notification letters were sent. If you own or are considering buying this trailer, contact Forest River Customer Service at 1-260-499-2100 and reference recall number 89-1618. Dealers will install a new Federal Placard at no cost.
